Here are two action-packed novels from David Drake's "Hammer's Slammers" series, which set the standard for military science fiction.

In Counting the Cost, the hottest science-fiction mercenaries are back, so why count the cost? The other guy is going to pay for it! Hammer's Slammers must win a two-front war while maintaining the civilian power structure against hordes of religious fanatics.

In The Warrior, Colonel Alois Hammer, Luke Broglie, Tess Kuykendall, and Slick Des Grieux - cogs in a killing machine - find themselves at the center of a potential bloodbath.

Great overall. If you liked Lamour you will enjoy Drake. Great storyline. Would have made a great tabletop game.

Hammer’s Well.

As a former tanker and combat veteran, I understand every single character in this story. Their thoughts, emotions, actions, and reactions, I've known these people, been them at times. This is why Drake is a great author. He understands war, and warriors. Who they are, and more importantly, who they can become.

Possibly THE single best Slammers book out there.

David Drake’s Slammers stories are real and frightening (and fun).

War is hell and he puts in the middle of it!!!

I've read these stories in print a dozen times, but hearing them in the narrator's incredible voice brings the experience to a whole new high. Drake's work is beautifully accurate. Cathartic for many vets and informative for most civilians. "I need them to remind me that I was THE BEST..."

Drake does it again!
