Subject: RE: FT Novels (actually now SG Novel more appropriate)
Having mixed up S.M. Stirling and David Drake in a previous post, I can now honor Mr Drake by commenting on his latest offering I have read. Titled Redliners, it is a VERY good example of a SG/DS style novel right down to a close approximation of most weapons systems ie IAVR, GMS and Plasma Guns (Inf). And like his Slammers, the central unit; a Company strength, is perfect for your NAC, OUDF or FedStats. And he doesn't get bogged down in the technical discussions on why technology does/doesn't work. Puts a target in the sights, off goes the safety and watch the dirt kick up!
