Book excerpt: 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
