Publisher's summary

From the dawn of history onward, commanding the most powerful ship around has been a dream of admirals, sultans, emperors, kings, generalissimos, and sea captains everywhere. For what the intimidation factor alone doesn't achieve, a massive barrage from super-weapons probably will.

In "Superweapon", a fight for possession of an ancient alien warship will determine the fate of two vast interstellar powers. In "Hate in the Darkness", a team of libertarian Freeholders must think outside the box to do battle with the might of the United Nations and its powerful navy. And in "A Helping Hand", Jody Lynn Nye posits an interstellar submarine on a rescue mission behind enemy lines - with the fate of an entire species hanging in the balance.

Big, bold, and edge-of-your-seat space opera and military science fiction from David Drake, Michael Z. Williamson, Mark L. Van Name, Steve White, Jody Lynn Nye, Brendan DuBois, Sharon Lee, Steve Miller, Susan R. Matthews, Mike Kupari, J.R.Dunn, Robert Buettner, Christopher Ruocchio, Dave Bara, Joelle Presby, and Gray Rinehart.

Mostly good, kinda racist and preachy

Some of the stories were quite good, and I'll probably try and read more in the future. But some of the stories have completely unnecessary and not-subtle racist/politically preachy overtones that ruin the experience. Narrator is pretty good, definitely stronger on dialogue than narration, but still did a good job.

TLDR: Spaceships go brr, very cool. Talking about how much they wanna kill the "ragheads" in a story where it doesn't even happen isn't.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
