Rick Partlow

Rick Partlow is an author from Tampa, Florida, who writes military science fiction across a large, interconnected catalog. His Drop Trooper series, part of a wider Birthright setting, follows powered-armor infantry through interstellar warfare, beginning with novels such as Duty, Honor, Planet and continuing through Homecoming and Contact Front. Partlow's Taken to the Stars and Wholesale Slaughter series extend his focus on soldiers and mercenaries navigating alien conflict, while Space Hunter and Earth at War round out a catalog of more than a hundred novels. His work follows the conventions of hard-edged, tactically detailed military science fiction released across many linked series. Public biography beyond his bibliography and Florida background is limited.
