Bob Colby was a very uneven writer
but when he was on he was excellent. He was also a hell of a
nice guy. Captain is his best book. Several GM regulars tried
similar novels but Colby's was the best I think because he
made the war so vivid as the motive for the vengeance. This
ws another book that came close to being filmed twice.
