Synopsis
13 original tales of fantastical battles for anyone who needs a dose of un-reality.
How might the course of World War II have changed if civilized dragons ran bombing missions for the Germans? Here are 13 tales of war in alternate worlds where magical creatures are real and often prove victorious. Human troops fight alongside gryphons, unicorns, and a sea serpent, who can give submarine warfare a whole new slant.
These are just a few of the stories gathered together in this all-original volume that opens the way to magical places in our own world where the armies of the fantastic are on the march, waging wars both vast and personal.

Reviews
This engaging theme anthology showcases magical beings at war, sometimes siding with, sometimes in opposition to, humans, and sometimes . . . well, read and find out. Jean Rabe gives us a dragon's stint with the Luftwaffe. Mickey Zucker Reichert offers faerie folk claiming a stretch of Iowa. Tanya Huff pits selkies (shape-changing seal-humans) against sea monsters. Kristine Kathryn Rusch gives magical tang to a conflict possessing a distinct World War I flavor. And Jody Lynn Nye portrays a battle for tolerance when the offspring of a harpy and a centaur tries to enlist. The other eight contributors are seasoned fantasists, too. Roland Green
