The Apocalypse Troll
David Weber, author of the enormously popular Honor Harrington military  SF series, takes to deep space and the high seas in the opening chapters ofApocalypse Troll.  The fateful space battle and resulting spaceship crash that bring together Colonel Ludmilla Leonova and Captain Richard Aston, U.S. Navy, set the stage for another rip-roaring, guns-blazing science fiction adventure. When Captain Aston finds out Colonel Leonova's secret, he eagerly offers his help, then finds himself in the middle of an extremely dangerous military situation. Weber's fast plots, nonstop action, and attention to detail are what makes his books so much fun to read, andApocalypse Trollis no exception.--Adam Fisher
