Marines in Space

[Enoff]

Been enjoying Ian Douglass' books about Marines in Space.

I didn't know until I looked him up on Wikipedia that Ian Douglas is William Keith.

Here are the GDW 2300, 2000 and Traveller books Keith has worked on

its not a bad series as far as presenting ideas is concerned

some of the story telling gets old though towards the end of the 9 books

 

[Enoff]

He does get a bit wordy at times

Found a lot of his older books written under the pseudonym Keith Douglas, the Carrier series. Does seem he somewhat re-utilizes plot lines from earlier stuff. Still fun reads if you are looking for some inspirational fiction.

are u sure keith douglas = william h kieth ?

seems a wierd co-incidence that the publisher used a throwaway pseudonym so similar to what he'd used before

You made me question myself, couldn't find the info on Wikipedia. I thought it was there but found Keith Douglass on William Keith's home site.

Scroll about 2/3 down
