Product Description
From George R. R. Martin’s Introduction to Warriors:
“People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories. Since Homer first sang the wrath of Achilles and the ancient Sumerians set down their tales of Gilgamesh, warriors, soldiers, and fighters have fascinated us; they are a part of every culture, every literary tradition, every genre. All Quiet on the Western Front, From Here to Eternity, and The Red Badge of Courage have become part of our literary canon, taught in classrooms all around the country and the world. Our contributors make up an all-star lineup of award-winning and bestselling writers, representing a dozen different publishers and as many genres. We asked each of them for the same thing—a story about a warrior. Some chose to write in the genre they’re best known for. Some decided to try something different. You will find warriors of every shape, size, and color in these pages, warriors from every epoch of human history, from yesterday and today and tomorrow, and from worlds that never were. Some of the stories will make you sad, some will make you laugh, and many will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
Included are a long novella from the world of Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, a new tale of Lord John by Diana Gabaldon, and an epic of humanity at bay by David Weber. Also present are original tales by David Ball, Peter S. Beagle, Lawrence Block, Gardner Dozois, Joe Haldeman, Robin Hobb, Cecelia Holland, Joe R. Lansdale, David Morrell, Naomi Novik, James Rollins, Steven Saylor, Robert Silverberg, S.M. Stirling, Carrie Vaughn, Howard Waldrop, and Tad Williams.
Many of these writers are bestsellers. All of them are storytellers of the highest quality. Together they make a volume of unforgettable reading.

The title of this massive anthology implies a binding military-sf theme, but actually the book is an essay in providing lots of different genres between one set of covers. Happily, it’s entirely successful. There really is something for everybody in it. Joe R. Lansdale has a straight history-cum-mystery about the Buffalo Soldiers, among other things. Naomi Novik eschews dragons in favor of bioengineering on a distant planet—too distant for the characters’ comfort. Steven Saylor goes back before Gordianus the Finder’s era to the fall of Carthage, regarded from the Carthaginian perspective. Lawrence Block forsakes Matthew Scudder to present a very odd young lady of easy virtue. Likewise, Carrie Vaughan’s character herein isn’t really a werewolf but a member of the WWII WASP. Both S. M. Stirling and David Weber hew closer to standard military-sf than many others; both are complete masters of it, of course, who have ever so slightly pushed its limits. And both editors contribute, Dozois a classy last-survivor piece, and Martin a sidebar to his Ice and Fire saga. --Roland Green
虽然部分作者不是我喜欢的,但冲着马丁,冲着冰火外传,也要收了。过半,最爱的是《清单》《斗犬》。《清单》看得我毛骨悚然啊,也很刺激,乍看平淡轻松,实际黑暗血腥啊!有童年阴影的人生果然不一般,好一个冷艳残酷狠的女人,做事干净利落。《斗犬》可是一剂清新剂,爱狗的...
評分我当然知道马丁说的那种在一大堆乱七八糟的阅读中偶然发现一篇特别对自己胃口的作品时会体味到的喜悦。 任何一个人都拥有就是不喜欢一部真正的杰作的权利。我明白这个道理有点儿太晚。所以在好长的一段时间里感到心虚。 这话反过来当然适用。我自己的好恶,难道不能自己做主? ...
評分 評分《我的名字叫军团》作者:大卫·莫雷尔。《第一滴血》的原著作者。写战争确实是把好手,不长的篇幅里将种种情势交代得清清楚楚,有顺序,有逆转,个人与军团的往事,军团的分裂与必须对立的现在,甚至还有人生的思考,都融为一体,密不可分。五星。 《鹰与兔》,作者:斯蒂芬...
評分看完上半本之后的感觉还行,除了冲破黑暗那篇雷人的结尾,真有种我裤子都脱了你让我看这个的感觉。谁料到下半本的选篇质量急转直下,好几篇文章徒有空洞的世界观,而在故事情节上真是乏善可陈。最后两篇lord john系列和冰火外传算是挽救了糟糕的下半本书。总体来说不是很推荐这...
