Stark's War is a Science Fiction novel trilogy by John Hemry (initially published under that name; later re-released under his pen name, Jack Campbell). They were his first published novels (although not his first published work overall).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The books are: Stark's War (2000) Stark's Command (2001) Stark's Crusade (2002)The series focuses on Ethan Stark, a sergeant in the United States military. The United States and its megacorporations control most of the Earth's resources, but the Moon is still up for grabs, and Stark is part of the expedition sent to press an American claim of ownership. This meets with stronger-than-expected resistance from factions fed up with American hegemony, and the protracted warfare which results isn't helped by the zero-atmosphere, low-gravity battleground. Stark's biggest problem, however, is the massive incompetence of his own side's officers, who are inexperienced, politicised, addicted to micromanagement, and completely out of touch with the reality on the ground. All Stark really cares about is looking after his own squad, but as the situation gets worse and worse, he's going to have to get political whether he wants it or not.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Robotic soldiers called Jabberwockies and Bandersnatchi are introduced in the third novel. When discussing it with his men, they bring up that automated troops had been tried before and always failed, since if there's a command link back to headquarters, then the robots can be hacked, and if there isn't, there's no way to update their preprogrammed orders if something unexpected happens after they're set loose. | |

| Stark's War / int_d1ebedfb | comment |
Armchair Military: Almost all the officers Stark interacts with. Only the most junior officers actually go out in the field with their troops, but because every soldier has Powered Armor with permanently-on communication links, the senior officers can still be virtually present on operations without actually being in any danger. They make free use of this to constantly interrupt troops with unhelpful, distracting, and often downright idiotic orders. | |
