A FEW GOOD MEN
ROB JENNE
He was a good boy from a backwoods planet — until he met the recruiting officer from the Slammers.
DANNY PRITCHARD
A brilliant officer who had achieved command rank the hard way, through the ranks, he had one fatal flaw — a conscience.
SALLY SCHILLING
She was tough as any man — and far meaner than most.
JOACHIM STEUBEN
A killer's killer, some thought him not even human — he was Hammer's special tool.
COLONEL ALOIS HAMMER
He
made the Slammers what they were the meanest, toughest bunch of
mercenaries who ever killed for a dollar, or wrecked a world for pay.
No one could stand against them.
