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. \u003ci\u003eAll Quiet on the Western Front, From Here to Eternity, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Red Badge of Courage \u003c\/i\u003ehave 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.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories in the second mass market volume of this book are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Stories of the Spinner Rack, by George R.
