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\"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-Publishers Weekly, reviewing the Night Shade hardcover edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439133095\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.75 Inches, Length: 5 Inches, Weight: 0.85 Pounds, Width: 1.1 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Drake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863245717811,"sku":"9781439133095","price":11.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/10497953482700.jpg?v=1754193078","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/complete-hammers-slammers-volume","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
