Publisher's Summary

Gangs ruled Cantilucca. Guns were the only law, and there was no lack of guns. It was hard to imagine matters getting worse. Until the survey team arrived.... Major Matthew Coke was not a squeamish man, but the state of affairs on Cantilucca turned his stomach. He was only human after all. Where some of the rest of his team were concerned, it was difficult to be sure: five professional mercenaries who'd learned the hard way that in the end they could defeat anything - except their own consciences.

Best one yet

Probably best Slammers book yet! I felt the others would just get going as they ended. I listen while working so it's good ear fodder, but probably wouldn't listen otherwise. Was included so I didn't pay anything and for that price it's a nice story. Nothing amazing, but a fun Listen regardless.

Word salad, and Guns

I've read or listened to a lot of David Drake's work, and this one, just left me weary. Good thing it was free.
