Summary: Part one of a comprehensive collection of the Hammers Slammers Works
... This is a book I've been waiting over ten years for. As a fan of mister Drakes writtings, in particular the Hammers Slammers series, I have always had a hard time tracking down some of his stories... this book, and its companion, offer the complete collection of his works (a must for any fan). It will also replace my paperbacks, which have become quite dog-eared over the years since I first discovered the Hammers Slammers. For those not familiar with the Hammers Slammers... These stories represent some of the best

Summary: Great Compendium of Early Hammer's Slammers Tales
... HAMMER'S SLAMMERS are a mercenary Army regiment, operating in the 28th Century, who sell their services to the highest bidders on the diverse outlying human colonies, most of which are in constant conflict... sort of like futuristic Hessian mercenary soldiers of the 18th Century. Here are brief reviews of the more substantial stories (mostly short stories, except where noted) from THE COMPLETE HAMMER'S SLAMMERS (VOLUME ONE): *** UNDER THE HAMMER (1974) - Details a newbie Rob Jenne's first day among Hammer's Slammers

Summary: The Slammers Complete
... The first in a proposed three volume compendium of Dave Drake's HAMMERS SLAMMERS material, this one will be convenient to have. It is likely that the buyers will, at least in many cases, have already read what it contains, but having the tales together, in a hard-back format, will be a good thing. The Slammers are, as Dave once said himself, "the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment with ray-guns", and are notably inspired by what Dave saw and heard while he was with the Blackhorse Cav in Vietnam and Cambodia some few years

Beyond Reengineering: How the Process-Centered Organization is Changing Our Work and Our Lives
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 1999-04-06 Summary: A must read for anyone interested in how organizations work ... I recently had the privilige of attending a Dr. Hammer seminar in Boston and can tell you that this book tracks closely with his seminar which was the best I have ever attended. The book however goes into much greater detail and depth than a one day high level seminar can go to. The portions that described the first principles of business (chapter 6)and the dramatic impact that process centered organizations will have on employees (the entire book)were standouts. I have already used information contained here in my ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 1999-03-09 Summary: Almost a homer, just a long double off the top of the wall ... After the first nine chapters, I thought this book was better than the original, Reengineering the Corporation. But the second half of the book wanders off into repetition, ambiguity and irrelevance. Oh well, it is still worth the cost just to read the first half of this sequel, because it adds depth to the original book. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-17 Summary: Just more reengineering. ... This book is heavily tied to its bestselling predecessor and therefore offers little excitement. Ofcourse, some new elements are added and forgotten subjects are drawn upon, but this book offers just more reengineering and doesn't go beyond the first book. Is this book not worth reading then? Absolutely not, you should actually read it. But not before completing the first book. Still thirsty after that one? Then get a refill with this one. ...more
Editorial Reviews [1] ... Product Description | Reengineering has captured the imagination of managers and shareholders alike, sending corporations on journeys of radical business redesign that have already begun to transfigure global industry. Yet aside from earning them improvements in their business performance, the shift into more-process-centered organizations is causing fundamental changes in the corporate world, changes that business leaders are only now beginning to understand. What will the revolutions final legacy be? Beyond...more
[2] ... Review | The coauthor of Reengineering the Corporation offers insights into the consequences of today's process-centered reengineering that marks the end of the Industrial Revolution. This book is required reading for executives and front-line workers, for students and investors, for everyone who wants to be prepared for the new world that is at our doorstep....more
Hammer of Daemons (Grey Knights)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-30 Summary: Back on track ... In GREY KNIGHTS, the first book in this series, the reader was introduced to Justicar Alaric of the Imperium's superhuman daemonslayers. The Space Marine chapter that works closely with the Inquisition to quash the particularly tough servents of Chaos (for the layman, that's the bad guys), the Grey Knights are as cool as Space Marines get. The first book in the series had some weird parts, but generally was a first class science fiction/40k invention. Counter really lost the thread in DARK ADEPTUS, however. His characters ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-04-21 Summary: Awesome ... Thsi book is currently one of my personal top 10 Warhammer 40k titles. Ben Counter drags our Grey Knight champion through hell itself, severly testing his physical and mental endurance while keeping the climax and conclusion elusive until the bitter end. Not you regular good guys beat bad guys story, but good guy turns.... well, you read it. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-25 Summary: Justicar Alaric is awesome ... Ben Counter does it again with his 3rd installment in the Grey Knights saga. What makes this book so great is that it is a fun book to read. Is it the greatest book ever? No, but it certainly is perfect for a fun read. The plot is interesting, and there is no lack of action. Another welcomed thing to the book was seeing chaos in all its glory, via a planet devoted to Khorne and its lords and leaders. As a side note, one thing I loved in the story was the inclusion of the orks. Although they don't play a major role, ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-03 Summary: A very good book ... I really enjoyed this third book in the Grey Knights series better than the first two books. It is well written with lots of action. I could not put it down. ...more

Hammer Glamour
Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | Over fifty years ago, with the release of The Curse of Frankenstein and Christopher Lee in Dracula , Hammer ushered in a whole new era of blood and barely restrained cleavage in glorious colour, mixing sex and horror with a style and panache that made the small British company world famous. Bursting at the seams with rare and previously unpublished photographs from Hammer’s archive and private collections worldwide, and featuring many new interviews, Hammer Glamour is a lavish, full...more
The Complete Hammer's Slammers Volume 2
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-03-10 Summary: Outstanding .... Again! ... What can I say? David Drake and his publishers did what every Hammer's Slammers fan ever wanted. Every book combined together in only 3 volumes!? AWESOME!! Having been several years since I have read these and was immediately drooling when I saw the announcement. And they do not leave you wanting. Bound in hardcover black with the title gold-embossed on the spine and a dust cover with cool classic Slammers style artwork ... A TRUE MASTERPIECE!! Any Hammer's Slammers fan must own these!!! ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-12-28 Summary: Good Collection of HAMMER'S SLAMMERS stories ... VOLUME TWO of THE COMPLETE HAMMER'S SLAMMERS is a good collection of novella sized stories, mostly from the late-80's. Following are individual reviews of each of the main stories: AT ANY PRICE (1985) **** - A breakthru story for its day... Military SciFi, with aliens. Drake's combat action dialog is hard to follow at times in this story, but still worth it. COUNTING THE COST (1987) *** - A Company of Hammer's Slammers (a spaceborne Mercenary Regiment) gets mixed up in the wranglings of a backwater world in political ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-22 Summary: Hammer's Slamers II ... More great Hammers stories and some background on David Drake and how the stories got written. ...more
