Synopsis
A collection of horrific, weird, and fantastic tales by a master storyteller and creator of best-selling military science fiction series including HammerâÈçs Slammers. Introductions on each story provide detailed snapshots of the larger-than-life editors, publishers, and writers with whom Drake has worked throughout his career. Here are weird stories set in the present, along with alternative histories filled with gritty realism and exacting detail as well as an assortment of horrors and monsters. Most of all, here are the tough heroes who throughout time master their own fears and face the very real terrors that haunt existence. Sometimes these heroes win a partial victory. Sometimes itâÈçs enough to go down fighting. Before Drake was a best-selling author of military science fiction, he was a prolific writer of horror and fantasy short fiction. âÈêDenkirch,âÈë DrakeâÈçs first sale, is here, and well as many stories set in the worlds of his fantasy novels ( Ranks of Bronze, Lord of the Isles, and others). More than just a collection of stories, Night & Demons features extensive story notes that chronicle the development of one of science fiction's most popular writers, and provide detailed snapshots of the larger-than-life editors, publishers, and writers with whom Drake has worked throughout his career. A bout David Drake: âÈê[T]he way Drake takes a tried formula and turns it on its ear is what makes him one of the modern masters of SF.âÈë âÈ' Otherwhere Gazette âÈê[P]rose as cold and hard s the metal alloy of a tank âÈö rivals Crane and Remarque âÈöâÈë âÈ' Chicago Sun-Times âÈêDrake couldnâÈçt write a bad action scene at gunpoint.âÈë âÈ' Booklist About David DrakeâÈçs RCN series: âÈê[R]ousing old-fashioned space opera.âÈë -- Publishers Weekly on the âÈêRCNâÈë series. âÈêThe fun is in the telling, and Mr. Drake has a strong voice.
