I have paperbacks and kindle of Armor.
A paperback of Vampire$,
Found a scan of the pages of The Bluenose Limit online,
But I believe he wrote maybe 4 more short stories I cannot find.

If you crossed early/middle Heinlein with Haldeman and a touch of Scalzi, and a pinch of King-  you get Steakley.

How Armor never even got a nomination for a Hugo, Nebulla, or even a Campbell amazes me.



Has ANY work, fiction or not, captured the dead inside, disassociation of repeated brutal exposure to death and combat to this degree?

I know the name, and just can't bring it to mind right now...

He was the owner of johnsteakley.com for many years, and ran the forum there.
