In a superstitious and history-ridden corner of the empire, a valuable battalion of Polluted soldiers inexplicably "falls dead" from an attack that leaves no visible wounds.

The images are stunning, the action is intense and breathtaking, and the plot twists are like nothing I have read in this kind of work before.

Five Star Reader's Favorite review of The Eternal Front

“The Eternal Front” is science fiction of the highest caliber. Blaire’s detailed consideration of two races, one twisted away from some human characteristics while retaining others, allows us to contemplate what it means to be human—the essence of enduring literature.

Goodreads 5-Star Review of Lines of Thunder

Best SF I’ve read all year… a richly textured, vivid, insanely readable story of interstellar cultures colliding and ordinary people struggling to be themselves amidst the horrors of a far-future war that may be on the edge of a genocidal resolution.

I would rank Walter Blaire alongside today’s SF greats including Banks, Reynolds, and Baxter.

Once in a great while, a science-fiction book comes along that creates a vivid, utterly believable world, the literary equivalent of a pulsar. This is one of those books.

Author Joe Dacy II review of The Eternal Front

Blair does an amazing job of building a world surrounding an eternal war while bringing the Tachba and Haphan to life. … It’s the rare author who can make me really care about imaginary people they invented. Blair does the job. On to next book!
