At Any Price & Rolling Hot

Hammer's Slammers Series

By: David Drake

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

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

In At Any Price, Col. Alois Hammer's indomitable Slammers are called in to support human colonists against a native uprising in this novel-length adventure. But even though the natives' off-world weapons are no match for the Slammers - their ability to teleport gives them a frightening advantage!

In Rolling Hot, the battle-crazed troop of recruits and vets, led by Captain Ranson, must cover 300 miles of hostile enemy territory.

I liked it! Took a little to get into but I did!!

I think I'm going to give it another listen now. I think the narrator threw me off for a little while but his voice kind of grew on me. Excellent stories that are a bit more gritty than your typical sci-fi. the first story, at any price, was great. however, I really enjoyed rolling hot. a great array of characters and story points.

Haven't "read" since I was a kid

I read the series when I was a kid and enjoyed it then. It's a good read enjoyed it.

Lot’s of battle, Little Plot

Little character development. Characters have long standing de habilitations but little story development covering their struggles from a personal point of view. Book reads like one big fight scene.

Rolling Hot is the better of the two

The narrator does an excellent job. Now of the two I have always found Rolling Hot the most impactful of the Hammer stories. This is where they are not invulnerable and you can see the toll this kind of warfare takes on a person. Excellent all around.

Fast pace mayhem.

Read this multiple times. Standard for military science fiction. David Drake is a true Grand Master.
