The Best-Selling Series That Rocketed David Drake to Military
Science Fiction Stardom.
The First of Three Volumes Collecting the Complete Series.
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. 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.
"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."
