Lazarus Rising (2004)
The hugely popular Starfist saga featuring Marines at war in outer space is the only military science fiction series written by real combat vets: David Sherman and Dan Cragg. Now comes the explosive hardcover debut of this series–packed with hell-torn action and blazing adventure. In th...
Blood Contact (1999)
This is another good book in the Starfist series but…I did not like this one as much as the other ones. It is a bit surprising since I generally like when they throw a few slimy never-before-seen aliens into the mix.Somehow this book never felt as fun to read or as engaging as the the other three...
Kingdom's Fury (2003)
This is a good solid read in the Starfist series. This book is pretty much what you would expect from the authors and this series without any major surprises. The book takes of seamlessly from the last book, Kingdom’s Swords, in the series. The book blurb states that “the truth is out” which is s...
First to Fight (2002)
This book is yet another marine story starting at boot camp. I do not know why but these stories seem to be much more popular than the ones that focus on tech and starships. A shame since I like the latter much more.Anyway, this is a fairly good book. It’s a not too complicated story about a mari...
Firestorm (2007)
Combat vets David Sherman and Dan Cragg know firsthand the courage, sacrifice, and hell of war–and their experiences have made the popular Starfist novels thrill rides of the highest order. Now the explosive action continues on the remote planet Ravenette, where the Marines of the Confederation’s...
Flashfire (2007)
This book was definitely the weakest in the Starfist series so far. Actually it was quite a disappointment as far as I am concerned. My main complaint is that there is really not enough of 34th FIST and a whole lot of political bullshitting instead. A god chunk of the book, especially the first h...
A World of Hurt (2009)
The writing in this series is getting much worse. When writing about the Marines, it's OK but venturing away from that and the writing becomes very child like. I don't known where the author got the idea for names of people other than Marines, but they are totally ridiculous. These names sound...
Hangfire (2001)
In the sixth adventure in this hot military sci-fi series, the space-faring Marines of Company L's 3rd Platoon--masquerading as discharged military buddies on holiday--take on the crime bosses that brutally control Havanagas and its people.
