Meluch is an excellent writer, and has a firm grasp of military tactics, character development and storytelling. A good substitutefor those waiting for David Weber s next Honor Harringtonnovel. Sacramento Book Review
Enough action and suspense for three novels. Meluch s wry, realistic wit finds the ludicrous in the military, sex in the military, and a dozen other matters.A treat for military sf buffs. Booklist, forThe Sagittarius Command
Fast action, hairbreadth escapes, and Meluch s facility for humorin an astonishing range of situations incumbent on military life become the order of the day.... A fine yarn to chuckle along with, just like the previousTour of the Merrimackadventures. Booklist, forStrength and Honor

Reseña del editor:
The U.S.S. Merrimack was the finest battleship class spaceship in Earth's fleet, able to stand up against the best the Palatine Empire could throw at them. They were even able to survive an attack by the deadly swarms of the seemingly unstoppable Hive. Only her sister ship, the Monitor, was her equal. However, with the Palatine forces preparing a massive offensive, and the Hive targeting every living organism in the galaxy for destruction, even these two great battleships may fall....
This omnibus edition includes the first two novels of R.M. Meluch's acclaimed Tour of the Merrimack series, The Myriad and Wolf Star.
