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.
An exciting new special-ops adventure from the battle-tested vets who created the popular Starfist series Jorge Lavager, charismatic leader of the mysterious Union of Margelan, ferociously guards an agricultural research facility on the planet Atlas. What that facility conceals will prove whethe...
Only a miracle can save them now.Luckily, they have one: the Marines. Like an invincible tidal wave of evil, the Dark Prince’s conquering armies roar across the land, leaving death and destruction in their wake. So far Marines Haft and Spinner have managed to stay one step ahead of the invaders...
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...
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...
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...

Separatist Admiral Pors Tonith has attacked Praesitlyn, home of the communications hub of the Republic. Palpatine sends Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Padawan, and Nejaa Halcyon, a shamed Jedi Master (he lost a ship to Zozrider Slayke, who coincidentally, happens to be defending Praesitlyn), to regain co...
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...
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...
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...
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...

To the Borderers, following them was almost like following a well-traveled road. They stopped and dismounted when they reached the three tethered horses. “Tether mounts,” Kovasch ordered as he looped his reins low around the trunk of a bumber tree with a knot he could undo with a simple yank. “Wa...
Everyone he had called for was already gathered around the conference table: Chairman Welborn and Major General de Castro, as well as Army Chief of Staff General John C. Robinson, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral James J. Madison, Commandant of the Marine Corps General Ralph Talbot, Force Recon ...
Haft hated to reduce the size of his already small force, but he had to send them back. With an escort. Balta had lost enough blood that he should have returned with the other badly wounded, but he refused to go. Haft complained, but he was secretly glad that the Skraglander officer stayed, even ...
Haft asked. He let his horse turn to face away from the hot wind blowing from the north, but held the reins so it didn’t begin to move south. “I don’t know,” Spinner murmured. The wind that whipped around them tore the words from his mouth and cast them away almost before Haft could hear them. Hi...
“Be seen!” Spinner shouted as he skidded to a halt. He wrapped an arm around the Golden Girl and jerked her to a stop. The horses were startled again as three people suddenly appeared among them, but they settled down quickly. The mare gave Haft a love nip when he got in range. Haft tried to avoi...
