“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 Couragehave 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. Views: 11

From
the superbly gifted Sherry Thomas comes this beautifully written romance about
a marriage of convenience that turns inconveniently passionate...
Felix Rivendale, the Marquess of Wrenworth,
is The Ideal Gentleman, a man all men want to be and all women want to possess.
Even Felix himself almost believes this golden image. But underneath is a
damaged soul soothed only by public adulation.
Louisa Cantwell needs to marry well to
support her sisters. She does not, however, want Lord Wrenworth—though he seems
inexplicably interested in her. She mistrusts his outward perfection, and the
praise he garners everywhere he goes. Still, when he is the only man to propose
at the end of the London season, she reluctantly accepts.
Louisa does not understand her husband’s
mysterious purposes, but she cannot deny the pleasure her body takes in his
touch. Nor can she deny the pull this magnetic man exerts upon her. But does
she dare to fall in love with a man so full of dark secrets, any one of which
could devastate her, if she were to get any closer?

He was dragged there. Would you choose as companions a cashiered astronomer whose capacity was purely alcoholic, a pneumatic woman whose walk alone was enough to set a man to itching, plus a collection of failures and misfits scooped from the gutters of New York? Neither did Julian. They picked him.And when this bungling crew of heterogeneous hoboes stumbled on to a world-shattering discovery, would you believe them? Julian had to. He was there.
