Editorial Reviews

Praise for the Stark's War series

"A gripping tale of military science fiction, in the tradition of Heinlein's Starship Troopers and Haldeman's Forever War." —Absolute Magnitude

"A rip-roaring race through tomorrow's battlefield, where knowledge is power but stupidity still reigns. Hemry's debut is a great yarn—and a thoughtful cautionary tale." —Mike Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of Kris Longknife: Bold

"When it comes to combat, Hemry delivers." —William C. Dietz, New York Times bestselling author of Into the Guns

"Gripping. Sergeant Stark is an unforgettable character. Stark's War reads as if Hemry has been there." —Jack McDevitt, Nebula Award-winning author of Thunderbird

From the Publisher

Hemry's story is set on the moon, and depicts conflict there in very realistic terms. That was enough to hold my interest in itself, but he also managed to create an intriguing character, a man who performs his duties even though he has some reservations about his government . . . . Overall I was quite impressed and pleased.
