William C. Dietz
A bestselling hand at boots-on-the-ground military SF, where mercenaries, marines, and legionnaires hold the line.
William C. Dietz is a bestselling American author who has built his reputation on action-packed military science fiction. His long-running Legion of the Damned series imagines a future French-Foreign-Legion-style force of cyborg soldiers and outcasts, while sequences like the Sam McCade mercenary novels deliver hard-charging interstellar adventure.
A Navy veteran, Dietz writes with a strong feel for combat, command, and the grunt's-eye view of war, balancing large-scale conflict against the personal stakes of the soldiers fighting it. His prose is clean and fast, his plots reliably propulsive. Expect tough heroes, vivid firefights, and the camaraderie and cost of military life projected into the far future. For readers who want their science fiction armored, embattled, and unpretentiously entertaining, Dietz is a dependable and prolific go-to.
