STARFIST - SCHOOL OF FIRE


A Del Rey Book

Copyright 1998 by David Sherman and Dan Cragg


On the planet Wanderjahr, the Marines are deployed against the aggressive guerrillas. It turns out not all the acts of terrorism come from the determined guerrillas.

In School of Fire - written by David Sherman and Dan Cragg, the second book of the Starfist series - the terrorist tactics that are used to blame the guerrillas are rather graphic. Considering the graphic terrorist tactics, it is hard to believe who was really responsible for the terrorist acts. However, due to the ineffectiveness of the local military forces, the Marines become responsible for the training of the local military - while Corporals Dean and Claypoole get assigned to the local police. Dean and Claypoole soon get caught up in the middle of a terrorist action and must work together to get out of it. It was nice to see Corporal Dean falling in love with a local girl. I wish I could see more of their relationship in the Starfist series. However, due to the nature of Dean's relationship with the girl, this probably will not happen.
