Lousy Combat Sci-Fi Novels [CLEAN STAMP]

Hiya,

I have to agree with Tom here... I just tried to re-read a few combat
sci-fi novels last month by David Drake and Jerry Pournelle, and I
found them to be so insipid & dull that I just couldn't finish them.
I ended up putting them back on the shelf half-read, with a mental
note to sell them to the local used bookstore.
