Produktbeschreibung

The Complete Saga of the 18^th Race Series in One Omnibus Edition

We are not alone!

In exploring and colonizing the galaxy, humanity discovers evidence of eighteen sentient species. Seventeen of them had not developed interstellar travel. Those were destroyed by the species that did reach the stars. That space-faring eighteenth annihilated the human colony on the Semi-Autonomous World Troy.

A Marine Force Recon platoon sent to investigate is wiped out almost to the last man. In reaction, the North American Union assembles the largest army seen since the major wars of the 20th Century.

Things seem grim for Troy and its defenders as a new Duster fleet arrives and attacks the remaining warships of Task Force 8, in orbit before landing a huge invasion army meant to defeat the Human forces.

And back on Earth, the NAU President must decide humanity's next course of action, even as scientists try to discover the Dusters' secrets to help the soldiers, sailors, and Marines win-

-and time is running out!

Includes Issue in Doubt, In All Directions, To Hell and Regroup, and the bonus short story "So [Not] Like Dogs," from the anthology Dogs of War.

Autorenporträt

David Sherman is the author or co-author of some three dozen books, most of which are about Marines in combat. He has written about US Marines in Vietnam (the Night Fighters series and three other novels), and the DemonTech series about Marines in a fantasy world. The 18th Race trilogy is military science fiction. Other than military, he wrote a non-conventional vampire novel, The Hunt, and a mystery, Dead Man's Chest. He has also released a collection of short fiction and non-fiction from early in his writing career, Sherman's Shorts; the Beginnings. With Dan Cragg he wrote the popular Starfist series and its spin off series, Starfist: Force Recon-all about Marines in the Twenty-fifth Century.; and a Star Wars novel, Jedi Trial. His books have been translated into Czech, Polish, German, and Japanese. After going to war as a U.S. Marine infantryman, and spending decades writing about young men at war, he's burnt out on the subject and has finally come home. Today he's writing short fiction, mostly steampunk and farcical fantastic Westerns. He lives in sunny South Florida, where he doesn't have to worry about hypothermia or snow-shoveling-induced heart attacks. He invites readers to visit his website, novelier.com.
