The first in a spin-off series to Sherman's StarFist series.The Force Recon teams are the infiltrators of the normal FISTs (Fleet Initial Strike Team), going ahead of the others and also taking on their own covert missions.As usual with his writing, the civilians are in two groups - one is inept and...

This is the first in a long series of military sci-fi adventures told by David Sherman in a far future universe. This one started out really slowly as the author spends more than half the book on back story and preparation of the action scenes to come. It did have a rousing finish and I am glad I st...

I have read David Sherman’s StarFist series and I quite liked the books in that series. Not all but quite a few of them. So when I stumbled over this one by the same author I thought, why not. The blurb states that this is a “very non-traditional vampire” novel and that it is indeed. Unfortunately, ...

This is the last book published in the Starfirst series. Although this book is slightly better than the previous one I cannot say that I am too devastated that the series has come to an end. Actually coming to an end is not really the right expression to use. This is not the end of the actual story ...

This is the 13th novel in the Starfist series. According to the author the series was cancelled by the publisher after the 14th novel. Unfortunately it looks like this series is going to end on a much lesser note than it started. Maybe this downhill tendency was why the publisher cancelled the serie...

Not only is the current story arc dragging on and on and on but, as I mentioned in my post about the previous instalment in the series, it is bogging itself down in political bullshitting which are not only uninteresting to read but it is a pain to have to dig through. The current commander is an un...

This book was definitely the weakest in the Starfist series so far. Actually it was quite a disappointment as far as I am concerned. My main complaint is that there is really not enough of 34th FIST and a whole lot of political bullshitting instead. A god chunk of the book, especially the first half...
