It's Founder's Day here at Baen Books, the day we celebrate the birthday of Jim Baen. Because it also falls on a #WeReadWednesday, today we're looking at a work he co-edited with both David Drake & Eric Flint -- "THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN." GET READY FOR A GIANT, MIND-EXPANDING DOSE OF THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION EVER WRITTEN BY THE GREATEST SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF ALL TIME! When readers first encounter science fiction, they find adventures on other planets and in future worlds, explorations of future technology and its implications, and extrapolations of social trends and warnings of where they may lead—but they also encounter concepts heretofore undreamed of, and the impact on the readers' thinking does nothing less than turn their world upside down. Now, David Drake, Jim Baen and Eric Flint gather together some of the greatest science fiction ever written in one volume, with each story chosen for a startling breakthrough concept which left readers stunned and changed the course of science fiction. In the Golden Age of science fiction, the science fiction magazines weren't given titles such as Astounding, Amazing, Startling, etc., for nothing! Pick up this generous serving of the very best of science fiction and prepared to be astounded, amazed, startled—and entertained. #FoundersDay #BaenBooks #JimBaen #EricFlint #DavidDrake baen.com/the-world-turned-up…

This week for #ThrowbackThursday, the winner of the poll over on our Youtube channel was David Drake's "THE TANK LORDS," which is available FREE in the Baen Free Library! Publisher's Note: THE TANK LORDS contains two full volume's worth of the Hammer's Slammer's saga, presented in chronological story sequence as determined by the author. THE SAGA OF THE SLAMMERS BEGINS! COLONEL ALOIS HAMMER: He welded five thousand individual killers into a weapon more deadly than any other in the human universe. When a planetary government faces unfriendly natives, guerrilla insurgents, or ruthless terrorists, they do the only thing that might save them— they hire Hammer's Slammers, the toughest, meanest bunch of mercs who ever wrecked a world for pay. Known throughout the galaxy for their cold, ruthless ferocity, the men of Colonel Hammer's indomitable armored brigade routinely accept impossible missions. Again and again, they go up against overwhelming forces, or fight a two-front war against ferocious opposition, all without atomizing their civilian employers. Can they keep doing it Not if they abide by the rules of civilized warfare...but nobody ever said the Hammers were nice. Even when their chances are not good—those who oppose them have no chance at all! #freeEbook #BaenFreeLibrary #BaenBooks #DavidDrake baen.com/the-tank-lords.html

This week on #ThrowbackThursday, we're going with THREE of the best SF authors Baen has to offer, all in a single novel. We're talking about "THE WARMASTERS" by David Weber, Eric Flint, and David Drake. Three Masters of Military Science Fiction Honor Harrinqton, Hammer's Slammers, and Belisarius all together in one single novel. Before she saved the galaxy, she was "Ms. Midshipwoman Harrington"— New York Times bestselling author David Weber reveals how Honor Harrington's long and brilliant career began with an encounter with "pirates" who turned out to be much more than they seemed.... Another day, another planet at war. But in David Drake's "Choosing Sides," Lieutenant Huber stepped off the starship right into an ambush. The attackers didn't survive, but neither did far too many of Huber's troops—and Slammers aren't supposed to get caught in ambushes. Now, to redeem himself, Huber is being sent on a special mission that may be his last. But even so, the enemy will learn the cost of killing even a single one of Colonel Hammer's Slammers. . . . If the enemy thought General Belisarius was tough, wait until they meet the wife of one of his soldiers in Eric Flint's "Island." She was wed just before her husband left with Belisarius to fight an evil from beyond time. Now her husband is wounded, and she is going to travel a thousand miles to reach his side—and few who get in her way will live to regret it... You can find "THE WARMASTERS" here -- baen.com/the-warmasters.html #warmasters #davidweber #ericflint #daviddrake #baenbooks

Drake is best known for his revolutionary HAMMER'S SLAMMERS military science fiction stories/novels. Deservedly so. (Quick take: he Sam Peckinpah-ed mil sf.) But Drake wrote so much more. I'll be looking at Drake's oeuvre over the next few days. 1/ #DavidDrake #Retrospective

Although primarily known for his sci-fi and fantasy work, author David Drake did pen some horror fiction, including co-writing the novel, “Killer” with Karl Edward Wagner, and publishing a short story collection, “From the Heart of Darkness.” RIP David Drake #daviddrake

I was very sorry to hear that science fiction legend, #daviddrake passed yesterday. I never met him in person, but had the pleasure of working with him virtually while editing two of his stories. One of them, "Lurking Death", which I believe to be his last, will appear in Weird World War: China. Lurking death indeed. Not only did we work together, but both of us were alumni of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (The Blackhorse). Save a pint for me, brother, at Fiddler's Green. david-drake.com
