The Tank Lords

Summary: I've seen all of this before, except for 1 short story
Review: This book is just a rehash of vintage Drake. Except for one short story, it's all previously published material. Not to say that if you haven't read any of this before, you will be disappointed. Not at all. It's just a shame that the publishers are trying to market this as a "New" book by Drake

Rating:
Summary: Great collection of stories.
Review: This is a collection of short stories and none are new. They are 'Under the Hammer','Rolling Hot','Night March','Code-Name Feirefitz','The Tank Lords' and an Appendix which gives a history and a background of the Hammer's Slammers universe. There is also a afterword from Mr. David Drake himself.
This book is great for people who wish to get into his tank stories, but I think people who already own many of his books would already have many of the above stories.
Two more volumes, 'Caught in the Crossfire' and 'The Butcher's Bill' are also NEW collections of OLD stories, with some NEW stories made just for the collections.

Summary: Mostly "Rolling hot"
Review: This is mostly a reprint of "Rolling hot", available separately from Baen, prefaced by one story and followed by three stories and an Appendix and Afterword. I guess this is an okay book, for those who like the style. I guess I like Pournelle better; less senseless carnage, more optimism.
