DAVID DRAKE lives near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. "Drake's grasp of large-scale action, as well as small dramas, makes him a superb storyteller."-- Library Journal on Master of the Cauldron "Drake draws with great, gritty realism on both material and magical planes, and Hell quite literally breaks loose on occasion. The audience for this kind of fantasy saga should prove large and ongoing, and for this volume, at least, it will be well deserved." -- Booklist on Master of the Cauldrom. The Forlorn Hope.

Neither stainless white knights nor bloodthirsty killers, the Slammers are competent professionals, with recognizable human flaws, engaged in a deadly business. Their internal conflicts, set against vivid scenes of battle, make their stories exciting and compelling. This is the second of the three volume set presenting for the first time the entire genre-defining Slammers series in uniform Omni-trade paperback volumes, 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. Отзывы. Дополнительная информация. Где читать книги. Смартфоны/планшеты. Ноутбуки и настольные компьютеры.

Captain Daniel Leary thinks that his marriage will allow him to slip into the quiet role of a naval officer in peacetime. His friend, the spy and cybrarian Adele Mundy, is content to be collating data in her library. But high officials of both superpowers are involved! Those who want Daniel and Adele to become involved in the Tarbell Stars claim that only they can prevent a war between the Republic of Cinnabar and its great rival, the Alliance of Free Stars. The conflict is political, but at the sharp end it means blazing warfare and cold-blooded murder. Daniel and Adele will be at the sharp end. The odds in ships and guns are badly in the enemy's favor. Daniel, Adele, and the crew of the Princess Cecile will do everything humanly possible, but that may not be enough against an enemy battleship. And even if Daniel and his companions succeed in battle, they can't be sure whether their employers really wanted them to win—or whether they even want them alive. All they can do is to race forward, hoping to come through into DEATH'S BRIGHT DAY. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About David Drake’s previous RCN novel, What Distant Deeps: “Drake deftly weaves a web of political machinations and intrigue that vividly depicts the costs of war. Fans of Patrick O'Brian's Maturin and Aubrey novels will enjoy this intricate, rousing space opera.” — Publishers Weekly. About David Drake’s RCN series: “[R]ousing old-fashioned space opera.”— Publishers Weekly. “The fun is in the telling, and Mr. Drake has a strong voice. I want more!”— Philadelphia Weekly Press. “[S]pace opera is alive and well. This series is getting better as the author goes along…character development combined with first-rate action and memorable world designs.”— SFReader.com. About David Drake: “[P]rose as cold and hard as the metal alloy of a tank…rivals Crane and Remarque…”— Chicago Sun-Times. The Forlorn Hope. THE FORLORN HOPE started in 1980 with a phone call from Susan Allison, who had just taken over as SF editor of Ace Books after Jim Baen left. Ace hired her away from Pocket Books, but earlier she’d been Jim’s assistant and knew both his methods and his authors, me included. Military books–fiction and non-fiction–were selling very well at the time. All the divisions of Ace Books had been directed to start military series. Hammer’s Slammers had been very successful for Ace (at the time, I had no idea how successful) so Susan came to me with a proposal: I would write a military SF novel, introducing characters and a milieu. Later volumes would be farmed out to other writers. There was no suggestion of me plotting novels for others to write–that whole business started years later–but I had reason to expect that I’d be paid a considerably larger advance than I’d gotten previously. I started writing the book without waiting for Ace and my agent to work out the contract details. I used Xenophon’s Anabasis –the March Upcountry–as a model for the opening situation but based the remainder of the milieu more on the Thirty Years War. I had a good time writing the book while waiting for a contract. The contract didn’t come. Ace was in severe financial straits, facing bankruptcy. I finished the book and light dawned: Putnams had bought Ace, providing the SF line with real financial backing for the first time in years. Obviously there were going to be delays while the new owners looked over projects, but I thought I had reasonable hope of getting perhaps as much as $20K for the book. Ace offered $7,500–less than I had gotten from Tor for Skyripper. I went ballistic. When Jim Baen heard that I had a completed military SF novel in hand, he immediately offered $15K for it. My agent felt that we owed Ace the chance to raise their low-ball offer (so far as I was concerned, if I never heard about Ace again in my life it was too soon. I was very frightened of my new status as a person without a regular paycheck, and as a result I was silly about a lot of things). Ace raised their offer to $12.5K, still below what Tor had on the table, and I gleefully took Tor’s offer. I like The Forlorn Hope , but I’ve never felt a desire to write a sequel to it. The book was meant to have sequels, but I never from the first intended to write them; I’d ended it at the point that satisfied me. Xenophon, I think, would have understood.

To be honest, I can't really explain why I love this book so much. I don't know, like the rest of David Drake's military sci-fi books it's a solid piece of fiction. There's mercenaries, there's fighting and killing, there's a group of mercenaries being burned as some nationals make a behind the scenes deal that involves them betraying the mercenaries "for the greater good" of their people. There's also a suicide trek across a beleaguered planet so they can somehow escape to safety. There's also some incredibly interesting characters that I simply couldn't help liking. After reading this book, I was left wishing that this could be the start of another mercenary book series. I mean, sure, he's already got Hammer's Slammers, but I firmly believe the world always needs one more military sci-fi mercenary series. Why? Because that would be cool. Super cool, even. ( ) Tor.com. Science fiction. Fantasy. The universe. And related subjects. War Without Glory: The Forlorn Hope by David Drake. In this monthly series reviewing classic science fiction books, Alan Brown will look at the front lines and frontiers of science fiction; books about soldiers and spacers, explorers and adventurers. Stories full of what Shakespeare used to refer to as “alarums and excursions”: battles, chases, clashes, and the stuff of excitement. The United States is divided by concerns about a stagnant economy and trade imbalances. The nation is still conflicted about a long and inconclusive war. A charismatic and bellicose Republican has replaced the last President, a scholarly and thoughtful Democrat. The new President promises to increase military spending while cutting back on the bureaucracy and balancing the budget at the same time… That’s right, folks, it’s time to travel back to the 1980s, and look at a work of military science fiction from the Reagan Era.

  • Introduction to First Project
    THE TECHNOLOGY OF CONSENT: AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION AND CULTURAL CRISIS IN THE 1980s A Dissertation Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Chad Andrews 2016 Cultural Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program May 2016 ABSTRACT The Technology of Consent: American Science Fiction and Cultural Crisis in the 1980s Chad Andrews The 1980s in the United States have come into focus as years of extensive ideological and socioeconomic fracture. A conservative movement arose to counter the progressive gains of previous decades, neoliberalism became the nation’s economic mantra, and détente was jettisoned in favour of military build-up. Such developments materialized out of a multitude of conflicts, a cultural crisis of ideas, perspectives, and words competing to maintain or rework the nation’s core structures. In this dissertation I argue that alongside these conflicts, a crisis over technology and its ramifications played a crucial role as well, with the American public grasping for ways to comprehend a nascent technoculture. Borrowing from Andrew Feenberg, I define three broad categories of popular conceptualization used to comprehend a decade of mass technical and social transformations: the instrumental view, construing technology as a range of efficient tools; the substantive view, insisting technology is an environment that determines its subjects; and a critical approach,

The Great War The First World War began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918 when at 11:00 am — “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” — a ceasefire came into effect. The term “First World War” was first used in September 1914 by the German philosopher Ernst Haeck el, who claimed, “There is no doubt that the course and ch aracter of the feared ‘European War’ ... will become the first world war in the full sense of the word.” The unprecedented casualty rates from widespread use of ch emical warfare, artillery, and new weapons such as flamethrowers left many of those who had fought in the war with lasting traumas.
