The pride of the U.S. space fleet is the battle-class starship, the U.S.S. Merrimack, commanded by Captain John Farragut. But when the alien life-form known as the Hive--a biological force whose only imperative is to seek and devour--begins wreaking destrution aross the galaxy, the Romans are forced to turn to Earth for help. But can these two longtime enemies keep from fighting each other long enough to destroy the Hive and save mankind?

Tour of the Merrimack: Volume Two contains the third and fourth books, The Sagittarius Command and Strength and Honor, of R.M. Meluch's thrilling and acclaimed Tour of the Merrimack series.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Tour of the Merrimack series: Meluch shows particular skill increating memorable characters while exhibiting a refreshing ruthlessnessin subordinating them to the logical ramifications of the plot. Publishers Weekly(starred review), forThe Myriad Rousing far-future SF novel....This isgrand old-fashioned space opera, so toss your disbelief out the nearest air lock and dive in. Publishers Weekly(starred review), forWolf Star "The Myriadbegins 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 ofmilitary 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.
