The Slammers are neither cartoon heroes nor propaganda villains; rather they are competent professionals engaged in a deadly business. The inevitable conflicts between policy, necessity, and human nature make Drake’s Slammers fiction instantly identifiable and utterly compelling. This is the first of a three volume set presenting for the first time the entire genre-defining Slammers series in a uniform trade paperback set, with new introductions by major SF figures and new afterwords by David Drake. Each volume will also include a Slammers story not collected in previous Slammer’s books. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e             “Fans of Drake's edgy stories of a mercenary tank regiment in a future not all that different from our present will rejoice [at the publication of] the entire series in three volumes. Drake, a Vietnam vet who served in the Blackhorse Regiment, uses prose as cold and hard as the metal alloy of a tank to portray the men and women of Hammer's Regiment. . . .  In his depiction of combat, Drake rivals Crane and Remarque.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, reviewing the Night Shade hardcover edition","brand":"Drake, David","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Science Fiction)","offer_id":45483342135520,"sku":"","price":9.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e96e5f9b-1c32-4be4-aba2-9c1366eed43f.jpg?v=1714848134","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781439133095","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
