War up close and personal, from a less than prime unit!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Starts as a story of a Slammer unit composed of misfits, burn-outs and slackers, defending a much larger force that despises them as usual. However, the sneak attack by the enemy, is only the start of this unit's troubles. Forced to fight their way to the capital to prevent the government from falling, they must battle both the enemy and their treachous allies, all the time falling prey to their various weaknesses. However, once again, the Slammers prove that sick, weak and with little equipment, they're still the equal of any other force in known space!
a typical, well written and exciting slammers story

David Drake comes through again with another excellent slammers story. The action is very realistic as are the characters response to war. Any war story fan should pick up this book (and all the slammers stories). These stories were written by a veteran of the Vietnam war and it shows. This book depicts a slammers infantry unit which is a bit unusual for the series. There are no supertanks demolishing things with their main guns. The action is more personal and on a smaller scale, but no less exciting or involving
