by David Weber
This is an all time fave and I generally reread it once a year. I love the mix of myth with military sci-fi. I love the emotion and family and friends and tragedy and vengeance and skulduggery.

This book is a prequel and repackaging of the original story, Path of the Fury. One of the best military sci-fi books I have read. Weber has a talent for sci-fi action that surpasses other authors. He pays great attention to the details behind the science of his work, making it believable and consis...
This is one of my favorite books of all time, I never get tired of reading it. I loved Path of the Fury and consider it David Weber's best stand-alone novel.

"Combat isn't about 'fair', Alley. Combat is about shooting the other guy in the back before he shoots you -- or one of your buddies -- in the back. You aren't some hero out of a holo-drama, and you're not out there on some field of honor; you're on a killing ground. Never forget that."David Webe...
