Reviews

Praise for STARFIST

“CAUTION! Any book written by Dan Cragg and David Sherman is bound to be addictive. . . . The authors have a deep firsthand knowledge of warfare, an enthralling vision of the future, and the skill of veteran writers. Fans of military fiction, science fiction, and suspense will all get their money’s worth. . . . [These novels are] fast, realistic, moral . . . and hard to put down. Sherman and Cragg are a great team!”
–RALPH PETERS
New York Times bestselling author of Red Army

“A fast-paced tale of military heroics and personal courage.”
–Library Journal

“This is state-of-the-art military science fiction.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred review)

When a mysterious series of fatalities on the colony planet of Maugham's Station reaches the attention of the Confederation's Marines, newly promoted Lt. Charles Bass is assigned to take the 34th FIST to the planet to investigate the possibility of involvement by the hostile aliens known as Skinks. What they find on the planet, however, is a new type of predator and a volatile political situation. Sherman and Cragg continue their "Starfist" series (First To Fight; Kingdom's Sword) with another tale of military action-adventure and planetary exploration. Familiar characters and catchy dialog make this a good addition to libraries with an audience for military sf. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
