Drop Trooper is Rick Partlow’s flagship series and his most widely read work. Running sixteen books from 2020 to 2024, the series follows infantry soldiers fighting in an interstellar war where orbital drops and ground combat are the norm. Contact Front introduces the characters and the conflict, and the series builds across battles, political shifts, and personal costs over the course of the war.
The series has been popular enough to spawn two spinoff series, Drop Trooper: Recon and Drop Trooper: Pirate Wars, which follow different characters in the same universe. Partlow published the main series at a rapid pace, sometimes releasing several entries in a single year.
