Moon and Marines

+ Hertiage Trilogy - Ian Douglas
+ Luna HOOHARA!

The plot of part one continues. With the characters we came to know and love on Mars and an excellent storyline. Not only were there ruins on Mars, but there is something going on on the moon aswell and was it ever our moon? The Marines are as allways on the frontline.

Ace Trade, 2006

Paying for the Right to Vote

+ Great Sci Fi Military
+ Good book, entertaining, recommended reading.

When Heinlein first penned this work in response to a call by some politicians to unilaterally disarm the United States, I doubt if he thought it would become one of his best known and most controversial works, a work which continues to have steady sales and whose influence on the science-fiction ...

Semper Mars: Book One of the Heritage Trilogy - one hell of a read!

+ Good Beach Reading
+ First Book in "Space Marines" Series Shows Promise

Semper Mars introduced me to the work of Ian Douglas, who along with Jack Campbell (The Lost Fleet et. seq) has reignited my interest in military science fiction. I have battled my way through the Posleen wars with John Ringo when the plot to Semper Mars caught my interest. Without giving too ...

This is an AWESOME BOOK!! I am a pilot and this book really rang true with me. The face paced action and great details really bring this book alive. I am an avid player of Warhammer 40k and I did not recognize some of the terms from other sources, i.e. codexs, White Dwarf, ect., but that may be ...

Great book!

+ Great conclusion to a Great Series

I'm a bit disappointed in the disjoining of this series from the previous one. There were a few references, but this was 'way too big a jump to perform comfortably.

Outstanding .... Again!

+ Good Collection of HAMMER'S SLAMMERS stories
+ Excellent Drake

What can I say? David Drake and his publishers did what every Hammer's Slammers fan ever wanted. Every book combined together in only 3 volumes!? AWESOME!! Having been several years since I have read these and was immediately drooling when I saw the announcement. And they do not leave you wanting. ...

Do NOT Buy This Book. Buy The Prince Instead.

+ Pournelle still delivers!

When I say not to buy this book, it's not because there's anything inherently wrong with it. Go Tell the Spartans is actually a great book. It's just that its content has been collected in a more complete edition. The first two books in Pournelle's novels of John Christian Falkenberg were The ...

Great Finish to a great series!

+ "Is there anything we can provide?" "Send us more Chinese!"

This has got to be one of the best sci-fi stories ever written. I was amazed. Normally, I like casual sci-fi, if even that. I picked up this series as a fluke. Just kinda curious about it, I figured, hey, This one has gotten pretty good reviews. So I picked up all three, and started reading. ...

The Stone Dogs (Draka Novels)16 reviews
S.M. Stirling

Baen, 1990

One of the Best alternate fiction books written in the '90s

+ What a detailed and frightening imagination this author possesses!
+ One of the best Cold War/Armageddon stories I have ever read

The Stone Dogs is one of the better science fiction books written in the early 1990s. Indeed, it's so good it should have received either a Nebula or Hugo award. However, the book is about a group of human being that want to enslave all "non race" human, is full of lesbian sex, and is so brutal ...
