George R. R. Martin, from his Introduction to Warriors:
"People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories. 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.

This collection of literary gems contains the two dozen stories that comprise Susan Casper's fiction output, as well as several of...
