Citizens (Used Paperback) - John Ringo & Brian M. Thomsen
A hard-hitting specialized anthology written by military veterans selected by armed forces veteran and New York Times best-selling author John Ringo and Hugo-nominated editor Brian M. Thomsen. Legendary science fiction writers, and citizen warriors, deliver science fiction military adventure tales on a grand scale. Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Laumer, Wolfe, and other greats. Giants of science fiction. Plus all new fiction by recent vets who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Military veterans all. Gritty takes on future combat. Penetrating looks into the warrior’s character, the harsh reality of a life under arms, and how society deals with those it desperately needs and often fails to honor as it should.
