Authors of Science Fiction tackle the subject of war in many different ways in the collection “The Mammoth Book of SF Wars.” This one of the few times that author Mike Resnick is in the same anthology as his daughter Laura that makes it very special. The editors have gathered many older writers with current ones to present so many different views of the future involving war. “Time Piece” by Joe Haldeman is a shorter version of his novel “The Forever War.” “Arena” by Fredrick Brown which many “Star Trek” fans know as the episode of the same name is the original short story that it came from. Also Laura Resnick’s “Peacekeeping Mission” is a satirical look at a war the United States has with Canada because of a comment made by a governor of one of the states, about the leader of Canada. “The Mammoth Book of SF Wars” is a great set of stories together for the first time.
