BIG SHIPSย BLOWING THINGS UP
IN SPACE, SIZE MATTERS
Boomers. Ships of the Line. Star Destroyers. The bigger the ship, the better the bang. Thus it was, and ever shall be, even into the distant future.
In โSuperweapon,โ by David Drake, a fight for possession of an ancient alien warship will determine the fate of two vast interstellar powers. Then in โHate in the Darknessโ by Michael Z. Williamson, a team of libertarian Freeholders must think outside the box to do battle with the might of the United Nations and its powerful navy. And in โA Helping Hand,โ Jody Lynn Nye posits an interstellar submarine on a rescue mission behind enemy linesโwith the fate of an entire species hanging in the balance.
Big, bold, and edge-of-your-seat space opera and military science fiction from David Drake, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Michael Z. Williamson, Steve White, Robert Buettner, Susan R. Matthews, Dave Bara, and many more!ย
Aboutย Star Destroyers:
โ. . . spectacular space battles and alien contacts . . . ย themes of military ethics, the uses of artificial intelligence, and the limits of the capacity of the human mind. . . . it is the human interactions and decisions that ultimately drive the stories. . . . will appeal to fans of military and hard science fiction and any readers fascinated by the possibilities of space travel.โโBooklist
โ. . . stories of giant spaceships at war, at peace, and in the often-gray areas between. . . . a worthy addition to a long tradition of ship-based fiction, and its authors portray captains, arcane astrogators, and civilian child passengers with equal depth. Itโs recommended for fans of military SF and space adventure.โโPublishers Weeklyย
โ. . . youโd probably expect some tight, action-filled space opera stories of giant space battles . . . and thereโs some of that. But there are also espionage stories, rescue missions, political conflicts, alternate histories, even a few humorous tales. . . . each author took the premise in a different direction . . . if I had to identify one common feature to all the stories, it would be that theyโre all fun. . . . Like it says, big ships blowing things up. Whatโs not to like?โโAnalog
