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
战士,形容得很贴切,每篇故事中的主人公都是他们自己人生的战士,自我抗争,自我救赎,或只是一种自我坚持,都散发着人性的光环,照亮了昏噩的我,那个曾经为了梦想而战斗的人,我要找回来。 战士,形容得很贴切,每篇故事中的主人公都是他们自己人生的战士,自我抗争,自我救...

评分马丁的短短一篇前言,如果也和书中所有故事放在一起评价,大概要比一多半的故事更隽永,更好看。所以,这绝对是一篇超额完成使命的前言。它不但能勾引读者的购买欲望,还能设法找补选集里的烂作。 我没逛过马丁大叔所说的那种杂货店,也没见过那种放书的铁架。我的印象里,本...
评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...
