Space Soldiers
by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois

Description:
From stone tools, to metal plows, to nuclear reactors--people have always strived to find a better, easier way. But no matter how far science takes us, some things remain: love and lust, art and entertainment,... and war. Technology has changed everything but our most basic instincts. And in this century and beyond, as we spread our will and ourselves across the galaxies, we will carry those instincts with us. From the battle of Troy to the Battle of the Bulge--to a battle many light-years away--war rages on...

In this explosive anthology, nine of science fiction's best new and classic writers imagine the soldiers who will one day fight and die on distant worlds.
