They had fought long and hard, and damn near won in spite of everything. But now, the men who hired them are going to sell them to the enemy...and so begins a novel of adventure in which a band of Star Mercenaries is driven across the face of a planet by enemies bent on their destruction. With only the guns in their hands, this tiny band must battle ships, artillery, treachery, and the most powerful tank in the universe...in Drake's action-packed The Forlorn Hope.
"Drake's grasp of large-scale action, as well as small dramas, makes him a superb storyteller."
Library Journal on Master of the Cauldron
"Drake draws with great, gritty realism on both material and magical planes, and Hell quite literally breaks loose on occasion. The audience for this kind of fantasy saga should prove large and ongoing, and for this volume, at least, it will be well deserved."
