When marine private Oliver Chadwick Gardenier is killed in the marine barrack bombing in Beirut, somebody who might be Saint Peter gives him a choice: Go to heaven, which, while nice, might be a little boring, or return to earth. The Boss has a mission for him, and he's to look for a sign. He's a marine: He'll choose the mission. Unfortunately, the sign he's to look for is "57". Which, given the food services contract in Bethesda Hospital, creates some difficulty. Eventually it appears that God's will is for Chad to join a group called Monster Hunters International.

In a universe where technology and magic co-exist, Nicholas Lyons desires one thing: to serve his queen as a Space Knight in the Royal Trident Forces. But when his final mission as an Academy cadet goes horribly wrong, Nicholas discovers he possesses illegal magical abilities that grant him power far beyond that of a normal man, knight, or mage. When a clandestine assignment lands Nicholas on the worst starship in the kingdom’s fleet, he finds a motley crew of warriors hiding their own terrible secret. Death and betrayal lurk around every corner.

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

Once every four years, the Earth Alliance Naval Academy is included in a war game...or rather, the Wargame: On a distant frontier colony, cadets must repair, recommission, and crew a fleet of old, mothballed warships for a simulated fleet action against a group of seasoned veterans using top-of-the-line warships. After some meddling on the part of the Admiralty, many of the Academy's best are assigned to the oldest, smallest hulk in the Wargame, the unfortunately named corvette, Chihuahua.

Even after the legendary evacuation from Dunkirk in June 1940 there were still large British formations fighting the Germans alongside their French allies. After mounting a vigorous counterattack at Abbeville and then engaging a tough defense along the Somme, the British were forced to conduct a second evacuation from the ports of Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest, and St. Nazaire. Case Red captures the drama of the final three weeks of military operations in France in June 1940.

The first ever in-depth analysis of the tactics and equipment used by the heroes and villains of the Star Wars universe has arrived!

Including detailed examples from Earth’s military history, best-selling author George Beahm illustrates how a merciless empire managed to subdue a galaxy with the application of overwhelming force and technology, and how a ragtag group of rebels could cobble together enough of a punch to topple a seemingly unbeatable enemy.

Excellent for most part but several extreme fails
Author needs to fact check himself before having book published.
Constantly referred to battle of 2nd Death Star as occurring in Empire Strikes Back. Also constantly referring to the Separatist Droid army as the Empire in the Battle of Naboo.
Makes me question his other facts though at least the other Star Wars details were correct.
Also apparently author has forgotten his Civil War history. Jar Jar being made a general no different than inexperienced political generals back then.
Finally while Jaws was released in the USA on 7/20/75, Star Wars release date which author got right in the end but not the intro is 5/25/77. Author states both Jaws & Star Wars released right after each other and a month following the end of the Vietnam War which was 4/30/75.
Final note, the narrator, Robert Petkoff, did an amazing job. Looking forward to hearing more from him in the future.

A very well done take on Star Wars.
Surprised this wasn't done before, but, glad it was. Approaching Star Wars from a military stand point is impressive, and well put together. Hope this sort of thing is, or has been done for other science fiction things.
