About

War is Hell; always has been, always will be. No one knows this better than the brave souls who have worn the uniform and fought for their fellow countrymen—the soldiers of America, Great Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and many other bastions of freedom. The veterans of the past have defined our present, and without their sacrifices we would all be slaves to evil regimes and petty despots who care nothing for liberty or human life. Our veterans are true heroes. Veterans of the Future Wars is an anthology dedicated to honoring those who fight (and have fought) for their country and our freedoms, by telling tales of their future counterparts combating everything from alien invasions, to home-grown dictators, and all manner of enemies. The future has untold struggles ahead, and we are ever in the need of those who are willing to serve and sacrifice. They shall not be forgotten! Within these pages shall be Science Fiction stories of action and adventure, but also valor, honor, and distinction, recounting the hard-fought struggles of future veterans, be they on the battlefield or on the homefront afterwards. Tug at our heartstrings, make us cheer or cry, and share an exciting adventure to thrill the senses.
