A volume of visions of future wars, fought with weaponsout of nightmare, by today's top writers of military science fiction, as well assome writers who are not usually associated with military SF, such asbest-selling writer Gregory Benford, and award-winning author Kristine KatherineRusch. Also present are Michael Z. Williamson, author of the strong sellingnovels Freehold and The Weapon, award-winning author of Bolo Strike, William H.Keith, and more. Through the centuries, weapons have changed radically, but thesoldier has remained much the same. But in the future, soldiers, too, mayundergo radical changes.
As editor JoeHaldeman puts it, "Weapons are an extension of the soldier, and also anextension of the culture or species that produced the soldier. And they aresometimes more dangerous to the soldier than the enemy. . . ."
