ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Best-Selling Series That Rocketed David Drake to Military Science Fiction Stardom. With 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. In three volumes, presenting for the first time the entire genre-defining Slammers series, each features new introductions by major SF figures and new afterwords by David Drake. Each volume also includes a Slammers story not collected in previous Slammer?s books. (Publisher). Signed.
