More About the Author

The Army took David Drake from Duke Law School and sent him on a motorized tour of Viet Nam and Cambodia with the 11th Cav, the Blackhorse. He learned new skills, saw interesting sights, and met exotic people who hadn't run fast enough to get away.

Dave returned to become Chapel Hill's Assistant Town Attorney and to try to put his life back together through fiction making sense of his Army experiences.

Dave describes war from where he saw it: the loader's hatch of a tank in Cambodia. His military experience, combined with his formal education in history and Latin, has made him one of the foremost writers of realistic action SF and fantasy. His bestselling Hammer's Slammers series is credited with creating the genre of modern Military SF. He often wishes he had a less interesting background.

Dave lives with his family in rural North Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crisis and the Withdrawal From Saigon, December 30, 2002
By 
David (Atlanta GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fleet 06: Crisis (Paperback)
The continuing high quality of the series is nearing its denoument in the Fleet book 6 CRISIS.
Having other authors play in your universe is always difficult, and I find the authors and editing top be consistent and of high quality. The authors write a story like Drake, in his universe, but from a different viewpoint. I have read other series done like this and have often been disappointed, but not here.
The book really sets you up for a book 7 to tie up the loose ends and bring the Fleet into direct conflict with the Families.
It has reminiscences of the fall of Saigon and the evacuation in 75. To have fought in that conflict and find the allies falling to the wayside as the enemy becomes victorious is part of the message I get from the endgame. Especially with the Headhunters and Redhorse. To all my fallen comrades, I salute you.
The elements of humor are interesting as well in keeping with what people in a combat zone or highly stressful profession use to deal with it. Yes, we do find things like that funny or accept them as normal.
I recommend the book as well as the series.
