• @CaptainEek:. long list of novels. sources consist of a website (novelist.com) and dead links. Are these books self-published? Can anybody source this author or ANY of his books? I ask because I tried to source several, and came up empty. E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:47, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi E.M.Gregory (talk · contribs). There is biographical information about David Sherman in:

• "David Sherman." Contemporary Authors Online, Gale, 2010. Literature Resource Center.

  The biography notes that he was born in 1958 in Niles, Ohio, United States, that is nationality is American, and that his occupation is novelist.

  The biography further notes:

  A former United States Marine, David Sherman is a prolific writer and novelist who concentrates on military science fiction. While in the military, Sherman served as a military police officer and did a tour of duty in Vietnam. Sherman attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and afterward spent time as a sculptor, winning awards for his artistic works.

  With collaborator Dan Cragg, Sherman is the author of the "Starfist" series of military science fiction novels. The series is set some four centuries in the future, when humans have spread out and claimed numerous habitable planets throughout the galaxy, with the attendant growth of planet-wide and interplanetary governments. The debut "Starfist" novel, First to Fight, appeared in 1997, and in 2009 Double Jeopardy, the fourteenth novel in the series, was published.

  ...

  Sherman has also authored a series of more traditional military adventure novels, the "Night Fighters" series. The series consists of six novels set during the Vietnam conflict. Knives in the Night introduces the Marines of the Combined Action Program Tango Niner, a group of military specialists who function much the same as a special forces unit. In this debut, the CAP Marines and their Vietnamese colleagues, the Popular Forces of Bun Hou village, come into conflict with Major Nghu, a vicious, sadistic North Vietnamese officer with the goal of eradicating the Marines and subjugating the South Vietnamese population. The series continues with Main Force Assault, in which the CAP Marines and their Vietnamese comrades encounter a nearly overwhelming force of Viet Cong troops. In addition, they struggle to deal with a number of corrupt South Vietnamese officials. In Out of the Fire, the Marines have been falsely accused of drug dealing by their adversaries in the South Vietnamese government. In the final book of the series, Charley Don't Live Here Anymore, Bun Hou village is safe, but the Marines are needed for one final mission to rescue a kidnapped child held in a North Vietnamese stronghold.

  ...

  Cragg and Sherman are also the authors of Jedi Trial, a novel set in the "Star Wars: Clone Wars" universe. When Anakin Skywalker is left behind while his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, goes on a solo mission, he spends his time training with a fellow Jedi, the disgraced Nejaa Halcyon. When a crisis erupts on the planet Praesitlyn, where the republic's Intergalactic Communications Center is based, Skywalker and Halcyon are tapped for duty. They soon discover that their mission is to retake Praesitlyn from Separatist troops who have landed and overrun the planet. With an army of clone troops at their command, and an unexpected ally in an old adversary of Halcyon's, the duo sets out at Chancellor Palpatine's order to liberate a planet and restore order. Their goal is not as easy as they had hoped, however, and Skywalker finds himself tested physically and mentally, straining both his Jedi skills and his commitment to the Jedi's basic code. With this novel, Cragg and Sherman "capture the rush of never-ending action characteristic" of the Star Wars universe, noted Library Journal reviewer Jackie Cassada. A Publishers Weekly writer remarked that Cragg and Sherman's contribution "brings new energy to the Star Wars franchise."

Checked each soruce, some were to Sherman's personal website, http://novelier.com/, othrers were to social media. He clearly has fans; some write revidws on Amazon and other social media. But article needs WP:RS and I can't find any.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:14, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

David was already in his 70s when I knew him in Florida some time between 2015-16. I was born in '59, and I remember asking him how old he was back then, and I said something like he was old enough to be my father. The Vietnam War ended in 1975, when a D.O.B. would have placed him at about 17. Even if his tour took place in the early 1970s, I think he would have been too young to have been a Marine at that time, much less in Vietnam in the 1960s. I realize this is all anecdote, but I'm sure something got botched in the D.O.B. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.221.214 (talk) 18:35, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
