George R. R. Martin, from his 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."
Every story in this volume appears here for the first time.
Included are: a long novella from the world of his 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.
