Early David Drake story

This is a very early novel by David Drake which is very bleak and very action oriented! Very hard style of Science Fiction! Very dim view of human politics and warfare! I have read nearlyevery thing that David Drake has written and published in terms of science Fiction but not the fantasy genre by Drake!! I enjoy Drake's Science Fiction the best especially his Daniel Leary and Adele Mundy stories! ]]> Review7489720122 Tue, 15 Apr 2025 22:04:30 -0700 /review/show/7489720122 Michael gave 5 stars to Mirage: Napoleon's Scientists and the Unveiling of Egypt (Kindle Edition) by Nina Burleigh
Egyptology

Behind the scenes into the phenomenon of Cultural Fascination with Ancient Egypt by a worldwide audiences.

Kino's Journey

Kino's stories seem to be mostly about social conformity and the weird twists humanity takes in its journey! Some people try to find meaning in life and despair when they do not find it! I find Kino's stories to be very bleak! ]]> Review7476207926 Mon, 14 Apr 2025 20:07:08 -0700 /review/show/7476207926 Michael gave 5 stars to Patriots (Kindle Edition) by David Drake
Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of SPACE Science Fiction

David Drake used the real Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont as his inspiration for this novel! The capture of Fort Ticonderoga also was real life inspiration!
Real life adventure can be stranger than fiction! great story telling! ]]> Review7473821366 Wed, 09 Apr 2025 15:09:08 -0700 /review/show/7473821366 Michael gave 5 stars to The Military Dimension: Mark II (Kindle Edition) by David Drake
