When a planetary government faces destruction, 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 ferocity, the men of Colonel Hammer's indomitable armored brigade routinely accept impossible missions. Their chances may not be good--but those who oppose them have no chance at all!
