military and SF anthology that will be enjoyed by a wide range of
readers.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “This intriguing anthology
explores the human race’s violent potential [but] also bends toward
exploration and the triumph of the human spirit, with brave tales [that]
take the reader on a fascinating, thought-provoking, enjoyable journey . .

that this subgenre is flourishing. . . . [The collection] should be welcome
by raw recruits and veterans alike.”—Locus
