Small Wolfe Essay
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! Fred Kiesche (FPK3) My books are water; those of great geniuses are wine. Everybody drinks water. (Mark Twain, "Notebook") Over 6,000 postings served! See The Eternal Golden Braid (http://theeternalgoldenbraid.blogspot.com/ ).

The intro was also reprinted in NYRSF.

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