That, however is such an oversimplification as to be misleading. There's military science fiction, and then there's the type of military science fiction as depicted by the terrific 15 stories written by some of the best in the science fiction field that are included in this volume. The stories here are largely character driven, and focus on the impact that war has on its participants as well as those people who are not active participants. As usual, Strahan has assembled a star-studded diverse group of writers, both new and old, both unfamiliar and well-known.I've always been a sucker for anything Peter Watts writes, and his story "ZeroS" does not disappoint. A group of zombies - resurrected humans who are used to test new weaponry that is essentially an upgrade to the human body, turning them into enhanced humans - are dispatched to fight a series of encounters that is beta testing for the weapons systems. The story explores the humanity that the soldiers still have - even though they are technically dead - as they witness first hand the violence of war and the atrocities they are visiting upon their victims. The zombies - the ZeroS of the title - don't actually know what's going on at first. All they know is if they serve their period as ZeroS - they will eventually be returned to real life. But as the realization that they are nothing but test subjects hit them, the conflict between war and wanting to live again comes to the forefront. It's a terrific tale.Another favorite is Elizabeth Bear's "Perfect Gun", about a freelance operative named John who buys a "rig" - a war machine with an AI for a brain - to allow him to provide his services to the highest bidder. It took time for John and the rig to build a relationship - an odd term to be using between a mercenary and a war machine - that once built, proved to make for a profitable period for John. Profitable, that is, until moral ambiguity entered the fray. The reaction of the ship - whose John (and we, for that matter) never learned, made it's own decision by the end of the story. "Perfect Gun" lets us know that even AIs have their limits.Caroline M. Yoachim provides another favorite, "Faceless Soldiers, Patchwork Ship", about a soldier that is heavily modified to infiltrate an enemy ship to try to prevent said enemy - the Faceless, who modify themselves by using body parts from conquered foes - from making progress using "fire kittens" to teleport - because that's what they do - weaponry, and thus turn the tide of the war. The modifications to Eknudayo's body come with a catch; if she doesn't complete her mission within a specified period of time, she will actually become a member of the enemy race. It's a fascinating story about the lengths participants in war will go to in an effort to prevent the enemy from gaining an advantage.Garth Nix gives us the delightful "Conversations with an Armory", in which military personnel at a lonely, isolated, and nearly abandoned outpost desperately try to activate and open an armory, controlled by an entertaining but strictly rule following AI, so as to get at its stored weapons cache and as a result defend themselves against an attack. This is not a deep, thought provoking story by any means, but in its own way lets the reader know that there can be a humorous side to war as well as the side we're all to familiar with.These aren't the only terrific stories in the book, of course. "Dear Sarah", by Nancy Kress, shows us how war can affect familial relationships, and not in a good way. An Owomoyela gives us "The Last Broadcasts", about the deceptions involved in war and how one participant reacts to that deception once the truth comes out. It's a powerful lesson about war not being just about guns and ships and explosions. Dominica Phetteplace's "The Oracle" is a tale of realizing not all that you wish for, especially in war time, is a good time, especially when it comes to the AIs involved. E.J Swift gives us "Weather Girl", a rather interesting story with a twist I don't remember having read before, about being able to block enemies from determining weather patterns and how disastrous storms can be used as weapons. Sometimes weapons have unintended consequences - in this case it's a former partner of the protagonist getting caught in the path of the storm - result, and those consequences do weigh heavily on the people who make those decisions. Eleanor Arnason's "Mines" is a study of people living on an Earth devastated by climate change and how those people cope. Here, mines dot the landscape, and these mines and how they are detected are the backdrop of a relationship between two people. It's a touching, powerful tale.I could continue, but I think that you get the idea of how these stories operate. They make you think about war in a different way - a way that may not be something that you're used to. Stories by Carrie Vaughn ("The Evening of Their Span of Days"), Indrapramit Das ("The Moon is Not a Battlefield"), Aliette de Bodard - rapidly becoming a favorite of mine - ("In Everlasting Wisdom"), David D. Levine ("Command and Control"), Rich Larson - a rising star in the field - ("Heavies"), and Genevieve Valentine ("Overburden") all give us glimpses into the future of war and its effects on those involved.Once again, Jonathan Strahan has assembled an outstanding anthology; he's one of the best there is at putting themed anthologies together, and of course his annual "Year's Best" is always a treat. Strahan has his finger on the pulse of the field when it comes to short fiction, and he always seems to pick the best of the best. I highly recommend Infinity Wars and everything else Strahan puts together. Reading any of his books will be time well spent. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stimulating, but with woke elements... *by L***I on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2022* As Strahan collections go, this is right up there. While a decidely few stories were B-list, the remainder pulled their weight quite nicely. I did however, feel the "woke" mentality starting to creep in--albeit it slightly--but I surmise that is the price we pay given the state of affairs lately. That being said, the Infinity series is quite well done...always satisfying. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fifteen good short stories of war and conflict in the near future *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018* This book is a collection of short stories of war under various and multiple forms. Short stories are each between twenty and forty pages long. While readers, starting with myself, will prefer some stories to others, there are not any weal stories or, perhaps more accurately, none that I really disliked or found poor.One theme that is present in several of them is climate change and warfare. A particularly horrific story is about stealthy cyberattacks associated with tsunamis and the catastrophic destruction that these might create.Another theme is about war in space. A particularly good story is Faceless soldiers, Patchwork Ship where the rather frightening enemy turns out to be not at all bent on aggression. Another story – Conversations with an Armory – is perhaps one of the most original where convalescent soldiers aboard a decommissioned warship desperately try to get the Armory’s AI to recognise them and obey them.A third theme is about proxy wars of attrition on distant or not so distant (the Moon in particular) colonies. My favourite here is Mines where the heroin, a discharged and traumatised soldier on a distant colony, still takes part in the war of attrition between the two colonies along with her special associate.Another theme is the use of science and biology in particular for war purposes. Another story associated with war trauma is ZeroS where a secret experiment uses the dead to make elite soldiers and dissociate them from their conscience for reasons that became apparent at the end.Four strong stars for the lot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/47154025-infinity-wars-the-infinity-project-book-6](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/47154025-infinity-wars-the-infinity-project-book-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
