Study Rolling Hot Drafted By David Drake Accessible As EPub

than the fact that an interstellar civilization that has recon drones and satellites, but no air combat capabilities, this is a fun story, The combat seems realistic although vastly skewed in terms of capabilities, and the story never stops, For pulp combat scifi, it is what it's supposed to be, In this Hammers Slammers story Mercenaries are in a base camp, just out of battle, Yet, these maintenance staff personnel, soldiers in for RampR who really need it and the dregs of the unit are called upon for an important almost suicidal mission.


Its “tank” combat a big battle and a then an even BIGGER battle, Its an intense read.

Including friendly fire and civilian causalities, Im afraid that this is what future combat and weapons will become,

Somewhere between. The action felt more fleshed out with the introduction of some new tech recon drones, bringing in some more artillery round types, and the book never stopped going.
The reader is swept along with the civilian character as the rearechelon of the Slammers is pressed into action that they were unprepared to face.
This book is unrelenting in the horrors of war that are faced in the span of a few days, showing the merciless nature of the situations that soldiers may find themselves in.
Probably my favorite of the series so far, Probably the best military SiFi series written, Drake is a superb writer of future military SiFi, Very recommended Another excellent book by the man many of us consider the Big Daddy of Military Science Fiction, The Slammers are called upon to relieve the siege of the

capital city of their paymasters, They do it, in the bloodiest manner on both sides possible, leaving the reader both with a sense of satisfaction and a bitter taste in the mouth that makes you want to flip over the coffee table in frustration.



One item common today was barely off the drawing board when Drake wrote this: Drones, The Slammers use them effectively for reconnaissance here, something most people thought impossible back inwhen Rolling Hot was published, If you have any interest in Military SciFi or just love a good war story, pick it up,


Find it! Buy it! Read it! One of my favorite Hammers's Slammers books, lots of action, a bunch of great well drawn characters.
Written during the 'tank phase' of military scife it remains one of the definitive works of the genre, Military Scifi is a great subgenre, I liked it. This is my favorite of the Hammer's Slammers novels, It's dark as dark can be, For me, it works well at capturing the mess that's war, The characters are interesting and kept my attention from beginning to end, Not as good as the original Hammer's Slammers short stories but pretty entertaining reading, Loved it Colonel Hammer has only a mixed bag of recruits and battlefatigued veterans to relieve a district capital that has to be rescued, Rolling Hot is sure to follow the success of David Drake's Hammer's Slammers nearly a million in print and the bestselling tiein adventure game, This is my favorite Hammer's Slammers novel, Like The Butcher's Bill and, honestly, all the Slammers series, Rolling Hot shows the heavy price of war, This time though, it's not on combathardened vets, or tired sergeants or new recruitsit's on the broken folks who can't be on the frontlines right now or maybe ever again.


All the Slammers books are bitter about war, but Rolling Hot is sick with anger over it, Even as our "in" to the world, Dick Suilin, adapts and finds moments to at least enjoy the accuracy of his grenade launcher, the shitty times don't stop coming.
The world that hired them, the situation they're roped into and the in one case literal ghosts that haunt them never let up their pressure.
David Drake knocks it out of the park with Rolling Hot, easily his best Hammer's Slammers novel, The story is loosely based on the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, and told from the viewpoints of four main characters, each with a very different take on events.
The action gets going and doesn't let up, and the ending is as grim and gritty as you would expect from Drake, David Drake is an American author of science fiction and fantasy literature, A Vietnam War veteran who has worked as a lawyer, he is now one of the major authors of the military science fiction genre, .
