Future Weapons of War
Joe Haldeman (Editor), Martin H Greenberg (Editor)
Publisher: Baen
ISBN: 1416555196   DDC: 813.0876208   Edition: Mass Market Paperback; 2008-11-25

Summary:

A volume of visions of future wars, fought with weapons out of
nightmare, by today’s top writers of military science fiction, as
well as some writers who are not usually associated with military SF,
such as best-selling writer Gregory Benford, and award-winning author
Kristine Katherine Rusch. Also present are Michael Z. Williamson,
author of the strong selling novels Freehold and The Weapon,
award-winning author of Bolo Strike, William H. Keith, and more.
Through the centuries, weapons have changed radically, but the
soldier has remained much the same. But in the future, soldiers, too,
may undergo radical changes. As editor Joe Haldeman puts it, “Weapons
are an extension of the soldier, and also an extension of the culture
or species that produced the soldier. And they are sometimes more
dangerous to the soldier than the enemy. . . .”
