Sworn Allies

Once again, Drake and Fawcett have compiled a masterful list of authors. As with the other titles in this series, this book's strength lies in the diversity of its authors. Each other writes a separate tale of futuristic military combat set in the main theme of human vs. khalian war. The list of names in this series is impressive, ranging for Larry Niven to Anne McCaffrey. All this makes for a truly interesting, and entertaining read. I would highly recommend any of The Fleet novels for any fan of science fiction. This book in particular maintains the style of the previous novels where Drake and Fawcett weave together the various stories (involving various levels of combat and violence) into a unified, directional plot. A great continuance of the series, with plenty of good surprises packed into the 10 or so short stories.
