The Complete Hammer's Slammers: Volume I
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9781439133095; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-07 Summary: Mechanized warfare in the far future ... This is the first in a three volume compilation of all the Hammer's Slammers stories (short stories, novellas, and novels) written by David Drake. Hammer's Slammers is a fictional mercenary armored regiment that is hired out by various organizations, planetary governments, commercial interests, etc. to fight their battles. The Slammers typically provide the mobile muscle for any indigenous forces and have proven decisive in a large number of campaigns. The unit's name is derived from that of its commander/owner, Alois ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-17 Summary: More of a Best Of than Complete ... I actually bought the e-book directly from Baen, and was hoping that it would contain all of his stories. However, I was mildly disappointed to find that it was more of a "Best Of" than the "Complete" Hammer's Slammers, especially since many of the early books like The Warrior is out of print. That said, I am really enjoying reading some stories that I haven't read in many many moons. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | With a veteran’s eye for the harsh and gritty details of war, David Drake depicts a futuristic analog of tank combat in his Hammer’s Slammers fiction. The Slammers are neither cartoon heroes nor propaganda villains; rather they are competent professionals engaged in a deadly business. The inevitable conflicts between policy, necessity, and human nature make Drake’s Slammers fiction instantly identifiable and utterly compelling. This is the first of a three volume set presenting for...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Prima! ... This book is absolutely amazing! I have taken German for about three years in college and two in graduate school. All of those "exceptions" to the rule are explained in detail with plenty of examples. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to master the language, teach, or to the intermediate to advanced student. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-12 Summary: Hammer's German Grammar and Usage ... An excellent reference for beginning, intermediate, and advanced German speakers. Explanations are clear and thorough. I should have purchased this book years ago! ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-28 Summary: The Book I Want On A Desert Island ... This is hands-down the single book I would want to have if stranded on a desert island. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is this book. Mr. Durrell's masterpiece demands superlatives. As far as printed material goes, this is all you need to go from intermediate to fluent in German. (Of course you still need to practice speaking, listening, and writing to become fluent). I am a U.S. citizen now living in Germany, and this book vastly improved my German. I can't say enough about it. Get it! Keep a copy next ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-24 Summary: An excellent grammar, when used correctly. ... As other reviewers have already emphasized, this is an excellent English language resource for German grammar. An incredible amount of detail is given, and attention is paid both to general rules and specific exceptions, even down to the most obscure and archaic. Both difficult and simple grammatical terms are explained through examples in English, which makes this book an excellent tool for coming to a deep understanding of the German language. As mentioned by others, this is no book for beginners. Only high-intermediate ...more

Included are clear and concise explanations, many examples from everyday life, and comprehensive cross-referencing and indexing....more

Hammer Films- A Life In Pictures: The Visual Story of Hammer Films
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-19 Summary: One of the best books on Hammer Films ... This book may strike some people as pricey, but if you love Hammer Films like I do, it is well worth it. This book is different from other Hammer books in that it is totally visual. Most of the pictures have never been published before, and there are a number of behind-the-scenes photos which show a side of Hammer Films most fans have not seen. This book does not contain a "nuts and bolts" history of Hammer--there are plenty of other books which do that. This is a book for the hard-core Hammer fan who thinks he or ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-01 Summary: Beautiful Photo History of Hammer Films ... This is a fantastic book. Hundreds of photos showcase the studio that was Hammer. Broken down into chapters including Frankenstein, Dracula, Science Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Comedy, etc. The photos are crisp and clear, mostly b/w, but there are several color sections. You will spend hours with this book. I loved it and wish there were more books like this. Limited to 2500 copies, get yours today before they are gone. ...more

You will be guided through this wonderful collection of photos by Kinsey himself,the celebrated author...more
Hammer of God (Godspeaker Trilogy, Book 3)

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-10 Summary: Great Conclusion to a Good Story ... Karen Miller is a fine storyteller and this book is an exciting conclusion to the Godspeaker Trilogy. The first book of the three is in my opinion the slowest, but the other two more than make up. I really enjoyed all three. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-07-05 Summary: A Strong End to a Strong Series ... I carefully read and enjoyed the other two books in this trilogy, Empress and The Riven Kingdom, despite the many negative things written on this website about them. I think I came into this book with high expectations, therefore, and most of them were met. I would strongly recommend this book to a friend, and would convince people who are doubting the series after Empress (which seems to be the common path), to at least continue on to this book. Please be forewarned, if you continue to read this review, there will ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-12 Summary: Karen Miller Rocks Once More ... I love, love, love Karen Miller's books. Once I start one, I can't put it down. ...more
