What is War? Nobody can really say. “Everybody was in a different War. Nobody's War is quite the same as anyone else's.” These words were from a Vietnam Veteran counselor. Truer words have never been spoken, so in this book we don't try to answer the question. Instead we bring you thoughtful stories not only of War, but the people affected, and the aftermath. In this book you'll find stories of alternative Wars as imagined by 26 authors of speculative fiction. Perhaps some of them will provide some insight into why we keep repeating what simply seems like a really bad idea.

A novella by David Alexander. Praise for David Alexander's Short Fiction "There are few story writers working today more vibrant, innovative and exciting than David Alexander. His stories jump off the page in fits of sensory attack, spiritual complication, emotional trouble. I don't know where he came from, but I know where he's going -- to the front rank of American storytellers." -- Frederick Barthelme "Alexander is a modern de Maupassant with a Kafkian sense of linearity, a Borgesque bent for the uncanny, and a unique pile of resources to draw on. ...His stories transcend interpersonal ...

At the head of his minions, called Ansari or believers by the Mahdi but Dervishes and "Turks" -- a name for all outsiders -- by the British, the Mahdi rode, wielding ...

Chaos rules when an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon is set off in orbit, triggering the most massive power failure and blackout in history.

In his novel Brothers of the Gun, David Alexander has redefined the technothriller. What is more, he has succeeded in writing a novel that is not only a fast-moving adventure tale that stands on its own merits, but which has unearthed the story of an incredible array of pre-20th century military technology that has, in its totality, never before seen publication in fiction or nonfiction. The way he tells the story, these weapons might well give anything in today's 21st century arsenals a run for the money. But as incredible as these early superweapons appear, Brothers of the Gun is no mere ...

Machine Breakers is the story of the notorious Luddite Rages Crusoe, "as told in his own words."

At the top of the social pyramid is a relative ...
