About this eBook
THE FLEET
The Khalians are weasel shaped and weasel vicious; their main concern with humanity is the way humans taste. Behind the Khalians are others: stronger, smarter, and more vicious still.
Captain Miklos Kowacs and the men and women of Marine Reaction Company 121, the Headhunters, have faced the Khalians on the front lines: now they're taking the war to the enemy, freeing captured planets from their bestial conquerors and penetrating even the Khalian horneworld.
But the worst dangers to Kowacs and his Headhunters come from traitors who wear the same uniform!
BATTLESTATION
The only chance of defeating the Ichtons is to capture one one alive. No human battlefleet could hope to do that¾but just maybe a lone scout like Sergeant Dresser could.
Anyway, he has to try. The Ichtons don't conquer their enemies: they destroy them utterly.
LACEY
In the not-too-distant future, government cameras watch every soul in North America. Only the most cunning and powerful imagine they can commit a crime and escape punishment, and they become the prey of hunters like Jed Lacey.
Lacey has neither hopes nor fears, and he has no mercy at ad. There's never been anybody better at what he does.
WARRIORS ALL
There've always been men and women willing to stand between humanity and the worst the universe has to offer. The trouble is, they can't stay human and do their jobs¾and they must do their jobs.

It's David Drake being grim. Hard, well written and he does try to have the more evil side not win and people able to live with themselves. It's grim but it's good. Recommended.

Very dark science fiction with mostly Military Sci Fic with some Soylent Green style future Sci Fic mixed in at the end with Lacey stories. Very engrossing reading never the less!

About the author
Vietnam veteran, former lawyer, former bus driver, and now bestselling author, David Drake tells a military story like no other. His readers recognize that he can take them where no one else can, with gut-wrenching description that puts them face-to-face with the enemy, and in the midst of the action right on the battlefield. He helped create the audience for mercenary military science fiction with his best-selling "Hammer's Slammers" books. Drake graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Iowa, majoring in history (with honors) and Latin. His stint at Duke University Law School was interrupted for two years by the U.S. Army, where he served as an enlisted interrogator with the 11th Armored Cavalry in Vietnam and Cambodia. Drake has a wife, a son, and various pets.
