| Re: The Mammoth Book of SF Wars Wow - they look great, Ian! Is this an anthology of recent reprints, old reprints, new stories or something else? Do you have a table of contents to share? Definitely looks like one for my "to buy" list... :-) |

| Luna tick  | Re: The Mammoth Book of SF Wars I see you edited the book Ian, I have several Mammoth book ofs. I have some that are sci-fi from a specific year and extreme sci-fi and I always wonder if they overlap, will I find stories in the above book that have already been printed in other books from the Mammoth series? Also, when will they have a Mammoth of book of mammoth related sci-fi?  |

| Re: The Mammoth Book of SF Wars Glad you like the look of it, Patrick. Three originals, from Catherine Asaro, Simon R Green, and Mike Resnick with Brad Torgerson. The Asaro piece is a longish one, at over 12,000 words, and is a new episode in her Skolian saga, featuring Sauscony (Soz) Valdoria. Ian and I scoured all sorts of anthologies as well as our own book collections to identify what we deemed the very best war-related stories, whether old or new; so the reprints cover both classic and contemporary SF. The oldest is Fredric Brown's "Arena" (1944) and the most recent, Tony Ballantyne's "The War Artist" (2011). Full TOC is: 1. Ian Watson and Ian Whates – Introduction 2. Mike Resnick & Brad Torgersen – PEACEKEEPER 3. Simon R. Green – FROM OUT OF THE SUN, ENDLESSLY SINGING 4. Algis Budrys – ALL FOR LOVE 5. Tony Ballantyne – THE WAR ARTIST 6. Allen Steele – WAR MEMORIAL 7. Elizabeth Moon – POLITICS 8. Fredric Brown – ARENA 9. Laura Resnick – PEACEKEEPING MISSION 10. Fred Saberhagen – THE PEACEMAKER 11. Andy Remic – JUNKED 12. William Tenn – THE LIBERATION OF EARTH 13. John Lambshead – STORMING HELL 14. Walter Jon Williams – SOLIDARITY 15. Michael Z. Williamson – THE PRICE 16. Gene Wolfe – THE HORARS OF WAR 17. David Weber – TRAITOR 18. Cordwainer Smith – THE GAME OF RAT AND DRAGON 19. David Drake – CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE 20. Neal Asher – THE RHINE’S WORLD INCIDENT 21. Paul McAuley – WINNING PEACE 22. Joe Haldeman -- TIME PIECE 23. Dan Abnett -- THE WAKE 24. Catherine Asaro – THE PYRE OF NEW DAY Good question, Moonbat! |
