""The Myriad "begins a series that is an amalgam of subgenres: military science fiction, space opera, time paradox, and alternate history.... This novel will prove thoroughly enjoyable to fans of military science fiction authors like David Weber and David Drake."--The B&N Review

Meluch is an excellent writer, and has a firm grasp of military tactics, character development and storytelling. A good substitutefor those waiting for David Weber s next Honor Harringtonnovel. Sacramento Book Review

Enough action and suspense for three novels. Meluch s wry, realistic wit finds the ludicrous in the military, sex in the military, and a dozen other matters.A treat for military sf buffs. Booklist, forThe Sagittarius Command
Fast action, hairbreadth escapes, and Meluch s facility for humorin an astonishing range of situations incumbent on military life become the order of the day.... A fine yarn to chuckle along with, just like the previousTour of the Merrimackadventures. Booklist, forStrength and Honor

The Ninth Circleis an immensely readable book that flows very quickly and draws you in withsharp little hooks that demand you finish the bookbefore you dream of beginning any other. Seattle Post-Intelligencer

A lovely sequel with excellent writing and wonderful characters . This is a great readfor people who liked Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey and Daniel Leary. SFRevu
A heart-pounding thrill ride .Fans ofStar Trekand Heinlein alikewill enjoy the story a great story of space warfare and the triumph of the human spirit against insurmountable odds. Grasping for the Wind

Reseña del editor:

The U.S.S. Merrimack was the finest battleship class spaceship in Earth's fleet, able to stand up against the best the Palatine Empire could throw at them. They were even able to survive an attack by the deadly swarms of the seemingly unstoppable Hive. Only her sister ship, the Monitor, was her equal. However, with the Palatine forces preparing a massive offensive, and the Hive targeting every living organism in the galaxy for destruction, even these two great battleships may fall....
This omnibus edition includes the first two novels of R.M. Meluch's acclaimed Tour of the Merrimack series, The Myriad and Wolf Star.
