Birds of Prey Drake, David
Baen 1984 0671559125 / 9780671559120 Softcover Very Good with no dust jacket
Very light edgewear to covers. Clean covers, Spine virtually uncreased. Solid reading copy. Trade PB 1 x 8.5 x 5.5 Inches 348 pages What if aliens had invaded in the past and been defeated? Aulus Perennius is a roman imperial spy who is recruited by a mysterious person to help track down and destroy a small group of aliens who have landed in the Roman Empire. Drake tells a good fast paced story within a well researched Roman Empire setting which gives the book a good authentic feel. He avoids the worst excesses of ray-gun sci-fi, while introducing comic elements such as an early christian cult who try a little too hard to worship the cruxicifiction, a displaced allosaurus who has a taste for donkeys and a nerve wracking naval battle in a hundred year old ship which is ready to fall apart.

Enemy Of My Enemy Drake, David
Baen 1995 0671876929 / 9780671876920 Softcover Near Fine with no dust jacket
Softcover is fresh and clean with solid binding. Mass Market PB 0.84 x 6.74 x 4.2 Inches 368 pages A futuristic sci-fi take on the ancient tale of star-crossed lovers. Those of you who are big fans of the powered battle armor/mobile infantry concept Heinlein made famous in Starship Troopers will doubtless love the fight scenes. Fans of classic literature should enjoy comparing and contrasting Tuchman and Wing with Montague and Capulet... And a striking new element of intrigue. Romeo (Ward Tuchman) and Juliet (Seladra Wing) are much smarter this time around; the feud between their families a hundred times as deadly. And there is no neutral authority with the ability and desire to set things right. There are not only duels; there are night raids with artillery support. The psyche of mercenaries, celebrities, and the pride of fine craftsmen all shine in this book.

Fireships Drake, David
Ace Books 1996 New York 044100329x / 9780441003297 First Edition First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Crisp clean DJ in mylar cover. Book is fresh and clean with solid binding. 1.12 x 8.5 x 5.56 Inches 326 pages In the far future, the human inhabitants of Venus are menaced by a tyrannical government on Earth. Much as Elizabethan England was menaced by Spain, in fact, for this novel concludes a trilogy (Igniting the Reaches; Through the Breach) based on the career of Sir Francis Drake? Not his ancestor, author Drake insists. The Englishman's futuristic incarnation, Piet Ricimer, has risen to the status of star-faring hero through his raids on Earth's interstellar colonies. This volume brings open war, as Ricimer's fleet "singes the tyrant of Earth's beard" and then defeats an outer-space armada with an arsenal that includes the unmanned, crash-diving "fireships" of the title. Most of the characterizations here lack originality, and the author's game of replaying Elizabethan history leads to some awkward world-building, tactics and weaponry. Unlike in Through the Breach, however, here the action scenes excel, perhaps because Drake forgoes that novel's first-person narration for a tougher third-person approach.
