Campaign logistics, professional-soldier viewpoints and overt political argument define Tom Kratman’s military science fiction. A Desert Called Peace begins the Carrera series on the colony world Terra Nova, where Patrick Carrera builds a military force after personal loss and becomes involved in wars that mirror contemporary political conflicts. Carnifex, The Lotus Eaters and later volumes continue through occupation, insurgency, logistics and increasingly large strategic decisions. Kratman also co-wrote Watch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes and The Tuloriad with John Ringo in the Legacy of the Aldenata universe. His prose is tactical, polemical and often deliberately provocative. The catalogue is best browsed alongside military SF, libertarian or conservative speculative fiction and long campaign-based war series. Read more Less
