Robert Adams' Book of Soldiers
Mehr zum Buch
An anthology collection of science fiction stories, featuring warriors and heroes. The best military science fiction isn’t just a bunch of space battles and cigar-chomping armed combat (although those are fun). The most interesting stories also examine what life in the military actually involves, and what combat can do to a person’s mind. The conflict, the tactics and weapons used for it, and the role of a military service and the individual members of that military organization form the basis for exciting stories of military science fiction. Contents: * Introduction (Robert Adams' Book of Soldiers) • essay by Robert Adams * Clash by Night [Keeps • 1] (1943) / novella by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore [as by Lawrence O'Donnell] * Among Thieves (1957) / novelette by Poul Anderson * Despoilers of the Golden Empire (1959) / novelette by Randall Garrett * Down Styphon!
