Brentor on space war Re: Submarines in space

This brought to mind an earlier thread of people looking for references to
war in sci-fi(sic) literature. I'd never read any fiction by Mr.
Brentnor, when I noticed a three PB anthology he edited. I forget the series
title, and, perhaps, those of the volumes, but I think they were The Sword of
Mars, The Spear of Orion, and The Shield of Odin.

Number of short stories and essays that were all thought provoking.
Liberally peppered with the non-PC thoughts of Pournelle and Laumer,
including allusions to 'mommy coyote's' competition with 'momma rabbit'.

I don't think the series was mentioned, but it certainly is worthy of
inclusion of combat-oriented spec fict collection.

The Spear of Mars The Sword of Orion The Hammer of Thor are the titles, I
think.

Editor's name is Reginald Bretnor.
