Synopsis

From the dawn of history onward, commanding the most powerful ship around has been a dream of admirals, sultans, emperors, kings, generalissimos, and sea captains everywhere. For what the intimidation factor alone doesn't achieve, a massive barrage from super-weapons probably will.

In "Superweapon," a fight for possession of an ancient alien warship will determine the fate of two vast interstellar powers. In "Hate in the Darkness," 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 "A Helping Hand," Jody Lynn Nye posits an interstellar submarine on a rescue mission behind enemy lines—with 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 and Steve Miller, Michael Z. Williamson, Steve White, Robert Buettner, Susan R. Matthews, Dave Bara, and many more.

Goodreads review by Gary

I admit, I was more than a little disappointed in this. While many of the stories were good, it wasn't what I wanted or expected. This is not a book of stories about big ships blowing things up. Yes, there were a couple of stories of ship to ship combat, the vast majority of them were not. Heck a co......more
