The Second of Three Volumes Collecting the Complete Best-Selling
Series That Rocketed David Drake to Military Science Fiction Stardom.
This Omni-trade paperback volume collects the first four novles in the
series: At Any Price, Counting the Cost, Rolling Hot, and The
Warrior-all have been out of print and unavailable for several years..
Neither stainless white knights nor bloodthirsty killers, the Slammers
are competent professionals, with recognizable human flaws, engaged in a
deadly business. Their interanl conflicts, set against vivid scenes of
battle, make their stories exciting and compelling.
This is the second of the three volume set presenting for the first time
the entire genre-defining Slammers series in uniform Omni-trade
paperback volumes, with new intoductions by major SF figures and new
afterwords by David Drake. Each volume will also include a Slmmers 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, use prose as cold and hard as the metal
alloy of a tank to portray the men and women of Hammer's Regiment.... In
his depicition of combat, Drake rivals Crane and Remarque.
