Huff, Tanya -- The Heart of Valor
This would be other way around -- old and crafty sergeant assigned to
young and naive cadre of officers. A training platoon, actually, for a
completely routine basic-training course, and the supervising
officer is recuperating from an injury -- I can't even remember the
excuse for this blatant bit of plot-setting-up, but naturally
everything goes straight to puddleglum and only the craftiest of
sergeantry can save the day. These will never be not fun. But am I
buying them in hardcover? Sir no sir.
