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!
