The Wagons West Empire series brings together the original Wagons West novels with the three Empire books: Honor!, Justice!, and Vengeance!. This gives readers a combined reading order that follows the story from the earliest pioneer journeys through to the conflicts of a more established nation.

The Empire additions were the last new entries before the long publishing gap. They shift the tone from exploration and settlement toward the political tensions and personal rivalries that came with America’s growth as a continental power.
