The Voyage

Hammer's Slammer's Series

Lissea Doorman wasn't one to refuse a challenge. Challenged by the rulers of Telaria to run a suicide mission, she put together a crew of tough mercenaries and brilliant specialists, ready for anything. Their journey took them through strange worlds, all the way to the Lost Colony - where they learned that their adventure was only just beginning.

Jason and the Argonauts in space

It only struck me about half way through listening, but once you recognise the plot it’s hard to not to see the similarities. This isn’t the usual Hammers Slammers fare, so if you’re expecting that, you’d be disappointed. But on its own terms, this is a good yarn. Jay Snyder is a change of pace from Stefan Rudnicki, and aside from a few mis-pronounced words, does a great job.

love this book

I've read this book several times as a paperback, but being able to listen to it while I drive is really cool. Only slight hiccup is plenum in pronounce plea numb anyway, very minor.

Drake does it again!

Fans of Drake will be delighted to consume this extension. You know and love the Slammers, but what next? What else is going on in this universe? What is old Don Slade up to?
Well... Here is your answer, or some of it anyway.

Newbies need to understand that Drake is premiere -maybe even foremost - at knowing a soldier's heart. Why do we do it? What does it cost a man to be a soldier? How do we live with that price? Even if you don't know the Slammers, you will enjoy this story. It stands well on its own, and you'll find yourself wanting to know more...

awesome

Drake development of characters is great. The way he makes you root for them is the best

A great adventure...

Exactly what I expect from David Drake...great military Science Fiction with a great story. Jay Dnyder gave excellent voice talents, for a wonderful listen....Thank you!
