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.
I really enjoy Mr. Drake's stories. His characters kind of seem real and their sense of humor in the face of danger makes for fun reading. I can lose myself in his books and just enjoy the story. This story was a bit different but still kept me going until the great ending.
A sci-fi masterpiece!!!!! This book surpasses anything and everything I had come to expect from a sci-fi novel in every way. It was utterly unreal, but very down to earth. I am currently trying to get my hands on the other titles in this series. I reccomend this to anyone, sci-fi fan or not.
One of, if not the best works Drake has out.

The "Hammer's Slammer's" series first hooked me on David Drake. "The Voyage" is a fantastic epic, encompassing all the gunplay and military sci-fi aspects of the afforementioned books. In addition, a plethora of devious and extremely clever plots exist throughout as the crew of the Swift surmounts seemingly impossible obstacles. Near non-stop action, I couldn't put this one down.
An epic quest in the "Hammer's Slammers" universe

A group of mercenaries and an aristocrat go on a journey to find a lost ultra-tech artifact. Their action-packed journeys from planet to planet roughly parallel the Greek epic poem "The Odyssey." The combat scenes are fairly graphic, but well-executed, with a "you-are-there" sense of details. Probably the best "Slammers" book yet
