@scottelsdon: Have to agree with "Forever Free". "The Forever War" is amazing, and every other Haldeman book that I've read has been at minimum a good way to kill a few hours . Some of them have really stuck with me as most of his books give you something to think about, but that one just made me think "WTF?"

@SupaChupacabra: Mignola doing steampunk Batman? Why did I not know about this? Must read now. Thank you!

Behold the Baen cover art for the otters. This is from "The Hub: Dangerous Territory", part of Baen's re-release of a good chunk of Schmitz's work. You can read it for for free (the story in question has been renamed "The Demon Breed" for this collection):
