About this ebook
A band of mercenaries must fight their way across a hostile planet after they're sold out to the enemy in this classic military science fiction odyssey.
They had fought long and hard, and damn near won in spite of everything. But now the men who hired them are going to sell them to the enemy . . . and so begins a novel of adventure in which a band of Star Mercenaries is driven across the face of a planet by enemies bent on their destruction. With only the guns in their hands, this tiny band must battle ships, artillery, treachery, and the most powerful tank in the universe . . .
Praise for The Forlorn Hope
"Vigorous and compelling. . . . A book that any Hammer's Slammers fan will enjoy. . . . A page-turner, fast-paced and hard to put down." — Reactor

The tale is top notch military science fiction. It's David Drake ... so you know. I've lost my paper copy and, these days, I prefer a digital format. The reason for this missive is to warn those purchasing that, like the Amazon site, you're "renting" this copy. You can't download and archive it. I looked and nowhere did I find the"Reading Information" regarding download. So, like all else, if it's not spelled out in black and white, assume you're SOL. 'Course even written guarantees nothing!
