The Fleet #3
Break Through
The Fleet — Pledged to Protect Us All!
World-crushing war rages between the human/alien Alliance and the predatory Khalians. Led by courageous pilots and marines from all corners of the galaxy, the Alliance Fleet retaliates with blinding force to reclaim conquered worlds, repell invading forces, and destroy enemy strongholds.
But a ruthless Khalian counter-attack backed with new, more powerful weapons slows the Fleet’s advance to a mutually slaughterous stalemate. Only a decisive victory can break the deadlock. For the men and women of the Fleet, it’s now or never ... it's time to DO OR DIE!
It's time to BREAK THROUGH!
The third book in this exciting SF military series includes stories by David Drake, Bill Fawcett, Christopher Stasheff, Larry Niven, E. Gary Gygax, Janny Wurts, Diane Duane, Steve Perry, Jody Lynn Nye, Janet Morris, Robert Sheckley, S.N. Lewitt, Karen Haber and Peter Morwood.
Praise for The Fleet:
“Should have strong appeal for military SF fans ... the great strength of the volume is in the quality work of the contributors.” — Booklist

Continues the struggle of the Allliance and Indie fleets against the Khalian, and their mysterious backers, aggression. Authors tend to write the same characters with mutual overlap. It's a big universe and harder to keep consistent than a single city like thieves world, but the range of styles doesn't detract from the enjoyment.
