5.0 out of 5 stars Where it all begins... Jan 14 2003
By Michael Valdivielso - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is short stories, starting from when (and why) the Hammer's Slammers were formed to when Colonel Alois Hammer finally came home. These stories show us a little more than later stories of the Hammer himself, a man who is ruthless towards his enemy yet loyal towards his own men (and women). The stories are; But Loyal to His Own, The Butcher's Bill, Under the Hammer, Cultural Conflict, Caught in the Crossfire, Hangman and Standing Down. It also has tiny interludes inbetween the stories that explain a lot about the background of this universe and also has an introduction by Jerry Pournelle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best Dec 12 2006
By Hammer fan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first picked up this volume 20 years ago and it left an impression ever since. Drake has a brutal and realistic angle on why men kill for a living, and these stories convey so strongly the cost and responsibility of war, and the way that responsibility is used by competent leaders and abused by beasts and politicians. And most of all, how the soldiers pay the cost.

And it's rocking fun sci-fi too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first of the outstanding Hammer's Slammer's series. July 9 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a collection of short stories that begin the almos t legendary Hammers Slammers series. It is must reading for any one who loves military science fiction. Mr. Drake has a deep understanding of his material. If any one wants to know the truth of combat and how one must behave to survive this is the book. Many of the technological aspects of his stories are very prescience, considering it was written between 1975 and 1979. His use of computers, digital communications links and instantaneous target aquisition is comming true today. I can't recommend anything better
