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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Publishers Weekly, reviewing the Night Shade hardcover edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folded Corner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59446946988318,"sku":"9781439133095","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/4018\/5118\/files\/9781439133095.jpg?v=1781119269","url":"https:\/\/readfoldedcorner.com\/products\/the-complete-hammers-slammers-volume-i","provider":"Folded Corner Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
