The Complete Hammer's Slammers - David Drake

Descriere The Complete Hammer's Slammers - David Drake

\nThe Best-Selling Series That Rocketed David Drake to Military Science Fiction Stardom. \nThe First of Three Volumes Collecting the Complete Series. \nWith a veteran's eye for the harsh and gritty details of war, David Drake depicts a futuristic analog of tank combat in his Hammer's Slammers fiction. The Slammers are neither cartoon heroes nor propaganda villains; rather they are competent professionals engaged in a deadly business. The inevitable conflicts between policy, necessity, and human nature make Drake's Slammers fiction instantly identifiable and utterly compelling. This is the first of a three volume set presenting for the first time the entire genre-defining Slammers series in a uniform trade paperback set, with new introductions by major SF figures and new afterwords by David Drake. Each volume will also include a Slammers story not collected in previous Slammer's books. \n \n \n \n Fans of Drake's edgy stories of a mercenary tank regiment in a future not all that different from our present will rejoice at the publication of] the entire series in three volumes. Drake, a Vietnam vet who served in the Blackhorse Regiment, uses prose as cold and hard as the metal alloy of a tank to portray the men and women of Hammer's Regiment. . . . In his depiction of combat, Drake rivals Crane and Remarque. \n \n--Publishers Weekly, reviewing the Night Shade hardcover edition\n
