Greetings:

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but Gene
Wolfe (I just found out, having gotten the book
yesterday) wrote the introduction to "The Complete
Hammer's Slammers, Volume One" by David Drake (Night
Shade Books). It's a good essay, even if I disagree
with some of the statements about who is qualified to
write military SF.

Take care!

The intro was also reprinted in NYRSF.

Of course Wolfe is an author of military SF too, and fits his own
criteria ;)
