About this audiobook

Bestselling author David Drake has been creating top-notch military science fiction, space opera, and fantasy novels and stories for decades. In this all-original collection, a stellar line-up of writers pays tribute to Drake with stories as broad in range as his own fiction. In Eric Flint's "A Flat Affect," a king is no match for a pair of storytellers. Gene Wolfe takes us to a strange and wondrous future in "Incubator." Larry Correia examines what it's like to face Hammer's Slammers from "The Losing Side." S. M. Stirling offers an insider's view of "Working with Dave, or, Inmates in Bellevue." Mur Lafferty shows what happens when a fairy visitor receives an unexpected welcome in "The Crate Warrior, the Doppelganger, and the Idea Woman." The book also features two new pieces from Drake: "The Great Wizard, Cabbage," a comic historical fantasy, and "Save What You Can," the first new Hammer's Slammers story in nearly a decade. With more stories from editor Mark L. Van Name, Cecelia Holland, T. C. McCarthy, Barry N. Malzberg, Sarah Hoyt, Tony Daniel, John Lambshead, Hank Davis, Eric S. Brown, and Sarah Van Name, as well as appreciations from Baen Publisher Toni Weisskopf and Tor founder and Publisher Tom Doherty, Onward, Drake! is a collection that fans of Drake's fiction-and anyone who enjoys a good story-will not want to miss.

About the author

As a stage, film, and television actor, she has played everything from a tree to an Irish setter to a lawyer, but it is as a veteran narrator of more than fifty-five audiobooks that she has truly found her voice.

Joel Richards was the kid who did crazy things just to have a good story to tell afterward. On deciding to make his affection his profession, he received a BFA in acting and a BA in English from the University of Utah. He has narrated over 150 audiobooks and continues to tell his original stories to live audiences.

Mark L. Van Name has worked in the high-tech industry for over thirty years and today runs a technology assessment company in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina.
