Guardsmen of Tomorrow

From the Back Cover of the DAW Books First Edition: Military encounters and contact with other worlds and species are two of the key building blocks of science fiction. And this brand-new collection will rocket readers into a galaxy's worth of interstellar conflicts. From a space navy captain who must pit his lone frigate against an enemy fleet in an effort to win an alliance with a neutral world in a key location... to a blind ex-Guardsman who may prove the one hope of rescue for the colonists aboard a cold-sleep ship... to a Star Guard captain forced to relive a war to end all wars between Earth and Altair III, here are suspense-filled, action-packed tales of battles fought and catastrophes avoided, of weapons that can destroy entire worlds, and of the men and women of the future whose lives are dedicated to preserving the existence of the human race in a large and often hostile universe.
