Mammoth Book Of Sf Wars
Paperback Edition: 1
War is becoming increasingly 'SF-ized' with remotely controlled attack drones and robot warriors already in development and being tested. Over the past 100 years the technology of war has advanced enormously in destructive power, yet also in sophistication so that we no longer seem to
live under the constant threat of all-out global thermonuclear cataclysm. So what will future wars be like? And what will start them: religion, politics, resources, refugees, or advanced weaponry itself? Watson and Whates present a gripping anthology of SF stories which explores the gamut of possible future conflicts, including such themes as nuclear war, psychological and cyberwars, enhanced soldiery, mercenaries, terrorism, intelligent robotic war machines, and war with aliens. All the stories in this collection of remarkable quality and diversity reveals humankind pressed to the limits in every conceivable way. It includes 24 stories with highlights such as: "The Pyre of the New Day" - Catherine Asaro; "The Rhine's World Incident" - Neal Asher; "Caught in the Crossfire" - David Drake; "Politics" - Elizabeth Moon; "The Traitor" - David Weber; And, others from: Dan Abnett, Tony Ballantyne, Fredric Brown, Algis Budrys, Simon R.
