Rick Shelley's Science Fiction centers around military science and campaigns. All of the books I have read take place in the same universe, that of the Second Commonwealth. The characters are decent, with some growth in the various books. Not the best series, but solid reads that are worth picking up and reading. And if you are into military SF, the appeal increases a great deal.
These three books make an enjoyable trilogy covering the war between the 2nd Commonwealth and the Confederation of Human Worlds. A good effort, showing a lot of promise for later books.
The start of a new series, this one is focusing more on the making of an officer in a mercenary corps. Better characters with a good story. I am looking forward to seeing the next book in the series.
The upcoming Colonel is the last book of the DMC for awhile. He is going to work on a different series set in a different universe for a while. He has said that there will be another series set in the Second Commonwealth universe. It will deal with the next go around between the Commonwealth and the Confederation, and will include the DMC in an active role.
