Dragoness Eclectic's Journal

I recently got a copy of "Hammer's Slammers, Vol 1" from the Sci-Fi Book club. This is part of what will be a complete collection of David Drake's classic military sci-fi stories about Col. Alois Hammer and his mercenary unit. They are very good, very hard-core military sci-fi by someone fresh out of the Vietnam War at the time he started writing them. As Drake himself has said, before he went to war, he wrote vaguely Lovecraftian horror; when he came back, he had real horror to write about.
