There Be War

"There Will Be War" is a must read for everyone. It is a collection of fictional military short stories and essays by various authors. Every one of them is outstanding! Past, present and future are all represented by some of the worlds greatest authors. In J.E. Pournelle we have not just an intelligent author with a gift of the pen, but also a superlative eye for fantastic stories. The works you'll find here will delight,entertain,provoke your thought, and make you wish it was three times as long. Luckily, however, there are more, each as wonderfull as this. As the saying goes, "If you only read one book this year, read this one!"

This series does a wonderful job of opening the door to war and allowing the reader to get a glimpse of what it is like. Pournelle seems to be able to put himself into the space that the warriors are occupying, rumor has it that he should be able to do that. As a VN vet it is sometimes difficult to get good fiction about war, fiction that doesn't resemble a Rambo movie. Pournelle has been able to find authors and stories that meet this need. Way to go Jerry
