As already described, the Baen CDs are primarily themed to promote the author of the primary book in question.
The Storm from the Shadows CD was built upon the release of David Weber's Storm from the Shadows. On it you'll find the entire backlist of the Honor Harrington series in which the story is set, along with several other David Weber stand-alone and co-authored stories.
The Claws That Catch CD was built around the release of John Ringo's Claws That Catch and also includes his stand-alone backlist as well as his co-authored works, and as an added bonus, some of the stand-alone works of his co-authors, like Travis Taylor's books.
The When the Tide Rises CD was built around the release of David Drake's When the Tide Rises and includes the Drake backlist, including the entire RCN series (which includes When the Tide Rises) as well as his stand-alones and co-authored works, like the Drake/Flint Bellisarius series.
The 1634: The Baltic War CD was built around the release of Eric Flint's 1634: The Baltic War and includes the Flint backlist, including the entire Ring of Fire series (which includes 1634: The Baltic War) as well as his stand-alones and co-authored works as well as the Flint-edited collections of classic SF stories.
The pattern is simply the backlist of the signature book's author's work.
