Other Times Than Peace

by David Drake

Overview

Heed the Slammers Battle Cry!

A warrior's truth: "In the long run, everybody's dead. So screw the long run!" Patriotic hoo-ha may be well-and-good for recruitment parades, but David Drake's battle-hardened mercenaries know it takes tanks, guns and grit to win when the real fighting flares. Yet peace brings its own problems to old soldiers—for killing potential enemies in battle is self-limiting, but once the killing starts in peacetime, there may be no end to the madness.

Two new "Hammer's Slammers" adventures crown this masterful collection of hard-hitting SF tales from legendary military SF action-master and best-seller, David Drake.
