The Heretic (General (Baen))

The Army took David Drake from Duke Law School and sent him on a motorized tour of Viet Nam and Cambodia with the 11th Cav, the Blackhorse. He learned new skills, saw interesting sights, and met exotic people who hadn't run fast enough to get away.  Dave returned to become Chapel Hill's Assistant Town Attorney and to try to put his life back together through fiction making sense of his Army experiences.  Dave describes war from where he saw it: the loader's hatch of a tank in Cambodia. His military experience, combined with his formal education in history and Latin, has made him one of the foremost writers of realistic action SF and fantasy. His books include the genre-defining and bestselling HammerâÈçs Slammers series, the RCN series including What Distant Deeps, In the Stormy Red Sky, The Way to Glory, and many more. His bestselling Hammer's Slammers series is credited with creating the genre of modern Military SF. He often wishes he had a less interesting background.  Dave lives with his family in rural North Carolina. Tony Daniel is the author of seven science fiction books, the latest of which is Guardian of Night , as well as an award-winning short story collection, The RobotâÈçs Twilight Companion and Star Trek Original Series novel Devil's Bargain.  He is Hugo finalist for his story âÈêLife on the Moon,âÈë which also won the AsimovâÈçs ReaderâÈçs Choice Award.
