📘 Caught In The Crossfire

by David Drake

One of the old adages about writing is: Write what you know about. Master Author David Drake does exactly that - he's been on the sharp end and to we, his fellow vets, it shows. This is a collection of stories illustrating just that; from a natural warrior who doesn't follow orders to an intelligence officer whose advance equipment to get data on what a prisoner knows without harm - but with a price they both must pay. It's vintage Drake and dang well worth reading. gmb 9/28/2019
