Here are two action-packed novels from David Drake's "Hammer's Slammers" series, which set the standard for military science fiction.

In Counting the Cost, the hottest science-fiction mercenaries are back, so why count the cost? The other guy is going to pay for it! Hammer's Slammers must win a two-front war while maintaining the civilian power structure against hordes of religious fanatics.

In The Warrior, Colonel Alois Hammer, Luke Broglie, Tess Kuykendall, and Slick Des Grieux - cogs in a killing machine - find themselves at the center of a potential bloodbath.

Great overall. If you liked Lamour you will enjoy Drake. Great storyline. Would have made a great tabletop game.

Hammer’s Well.

As a former tanker and combat veteran, I understand every single character in this story. Their thoughts, emotions, actions, and reactions, I've known these people, been them at times. This is why Drake is a great author. He understands war, and warriors. Who they are, and more importantly, who they can become.

Possibly THE single best Slammers book out there.

David Drake’s Slammers stories are real and frightening (and fun).

War is hell and he puts in the middle of it!!!

I've read these stories in print a dozen times, but hearing them in the narrator's incredible voice brings the experience to a whole new high. Drake's work is beautifully accurate. Cathartic for many vets and informative for most civilians. "I need them to remind me that I was THE BEST..."

Drake does it again!

If you like military Science Fiction, you will probably enjoy this one. David Drake is one of the top writers in the field...and Stefan Rudicki is one of the best narrators for such stories out there. Enjoy!

Very good!

Interesting stories but to much introspection as characters walk through their personal issues. Good for thoughtful reflection on the toll that war has on humanity.

Good for treating ptsd

These two books accurately reflect the dark side of David Drake’s writing. Soldiers know soldiers and there are many types of soldiers to know. You meet two very different soldiers in two very different situations in these books. Few people are understand decisions made under stress and few know how they will handle them when it happens to them.

This is war. It may be sci-fi, but it is so real you can practically smell the dead. Hammers Slammers once again delivers that bitter shot of war we all hate and love. Well worth your coin.

I've been a fan of Hammer's Slammers since the books first came out. being able to listen to them as audiobooks, opens a new dimension that I personally find to be lots of fun.

Hammers Slammers fun
