    An excellent sampler of genre fiction by some of the very best.
  

*by G***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2010*

To quote from George R.R. Martin's introduction "People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories." I imagine that for most all who enjoy genre fiction, it's the timeless tradition of the telling of warriors' tales that is the heart of our passion. In fact, reading Martin's introduction titled "Stories of the Spinner Rack" is enough to put Warriors on any bookworm's reading list. For many of us who grew up in Small Town USA during the 70's and earlier, before the big book stores and Amazon.com, we know exactly what he was talking about. It's a very relatable trip down memory lane that primes the reader for the adventures that follow.At 736 pages, Warriors is practically a tome. It contains twenty tales, without a bad one in the bunch. I'm not going to summarize each individual story, since that information is already easily available from the publisher and from harder working reviewers than me, but the list of authors is the most impressive I've ever seen for similar books. These are great stories from most all the genres, with more than a few of them being fantasy and science fiction, but also historical fiction, a western, a war story, paranormal, and even a dog story.My experience reading Warriors was a re-acquaintance with some favorite authors that I haven't read in way too long: George R. R. Martin, David Morrell, Tad Williams, Robert Silverberg, and Lawrence Block. It was also an introduction to many authors I've had an interest in but haven't yet given a read: David Weber, Naomi Novik, and Diana Gabaldon, to name only a few.I'm one of the rare odd-balls who didn't care for Robin Hobb's FARSEER trilogy, but her story about a Roman prisoner of war, "The Triumph," was one of my favorites in the book. James Rollin's story about a pit-bull dog actually produced a lump in my throat. David Morrell's "My Name is Legion", about two comrades in the French Foreign Legion during WWII, pulled at my heart strings. George R. R. Martin returns to Westeros some centuries before A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE for another adventure of his Hedge Knight -- for fans of the series, that's all that needs saying.Warriors is an excellent sampler of genre fiction by the some of the very best. Readers won't find a better way to try new genres, revisit past favorites, and still enjoy tales the likes of which are currently on their reading lists.

    Excellent Anthology
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2010*

Warriors is one of the best anthologies I've read. I was lucky enough to get it for a just bit over eight bucks on pre-order. The editors did a fantastic job of choosing the authors and stories, and also in ordering the stories within the volume. I loved the idea of using the warrior theme, very broadly defined, and then including so many different genres. It ended up working extremely well.The anthology includes 20 stories and almost every single one of them was a strong entry. There was only one that I flat out didn't like and thought was too weak of an offering to be included with all the rest. There were quite a few stories that were about things that don't particularly interest me, but the outstanding writing kept me absorbed anyway.I did have one major disappointment with this anthology, and it's why I gave it only 4 instead of 5 stars. That is the dearth of of women. Of the 20 stories in Warriors only 4 had a female protagonist and only 5 were written by women. Those are extremely sad statistics for such a mixed anthology in this day and age.Kindle Note: (I usually do the Kindle Note at the end, but I'll put it here for those who don't want to read through the story listing.) The ebook was excellently designed with an active TOC and markers on the progress bar for the start of each story, enabling the ability to flip between stories using the 5-way. There was one serious oddity, the word "Whatever" was capitalized every time it was used throughout the book. Looks like a search and replace that got out of hand! There were the usual assortment of typos and hyphen problems, but nothing too egregious.NO-SPOILER Story Listing:1) The King of Norway by Cecelia HollandThe story is about hairy vikings wearing skins battling each other in boats. Not really my cup of tea, but the excellent writing kept me absorbed. Holland has a really deft touch with vivid imagery and description, while being brief with it so I didn't feel like skimming.2) Forever Bound by Joe HaldemanFascinating look at near future warfare possibilities. The story completely sucked me in.3) The Triumph by Robin HobbRomans vs. Carthagians, battle scenes, and torture of a man in a cage. Normally would be a yawner for me, but throw in some great writing and a fight with a giant river snake and it kept my attention.4) Clean Slate by Lawrence BlockA dark, twisted tale of incest and murder. Intriguing story and well-written, though it lost something right near the end when it spelled things out, rather than leaving it between the lines for readers when it was easily discerned.5) And Ministers of Grace by Tad WilliamsA far future tale of religious extremism and extreme rationalism. Writing seemed a bit jerky in places causing me to reread sentences, but an excellent story, one of my favorites.6) Soldierin' by Joe R. LansdaleHistorical story about ex-slaves as the buffalo soldiers in the U.S. Cavalry facing an attack by Apaches. Excellent writing, made me feel as if I was there.7) Dirae by Peter S. BeagleOne of my favorites. The beginning is quite confusing and then as the story goes along it's as if veils of darkness fall to reveal more and more. Beagle manages to work in a lot of emotion for a story that is so vague in other ways.8) The Custom of the Army by Diana GabaldonLong story about Lord John. Starts with an electric eel party in London and ends in Quebec in with the aftermath of battle and small pox. Very engaging story with wonderful historical detail.9) Seven Years From Home by Naomi NovikIntriguing story of culture clash, politics, government meddling, and humans imposing on aplanet vs. working with it. The story is 2700 years in future, but narrated in a formal and somewhat old fashioned manner.10) The Eagle and the Rabbit by Steven SaylorThe Punic Wars are popular in this anthology. Here's another one about Romans vs. Carthagians, this time right after the fall of Carthage. Once again excellent writing kept me interested in finding out what decision a captured boy on the brink of manhood would make when I otherwise might have been bored.11) The Pit by James RollinsThis one is a bit of a shock when you come to it because the warrior is unlike any of the others. It was the hardest to read of the bunch, though not because of bad writing. I admit to having to use up a Kleenex to get through it.12) Out of the Dark by David WeberThis is another long story, which seems like a good old-fashioned alien invasion tale, this time told from the POV of both the humans and the alien invaders. Weber's writing doesn't seem as smooth as the prior stories, but it's a very engaging tale. I have very mixed feelings about this one. I definitely enjoyed it, but the insertion of myth into what had been a straight-up SF story seemed out of place, and then the ending is pretty much a deus ex machina, which cheapened the whole thing.13) The Girls from Avenger by Carrie VaughnSurprising historical fiction from an urban fantasy author about Army WASPs during World War II. It's a touching tale of a pilot trying to uncover the mystery behind her friend's death in a plane crash.14) Ancient Ways by S. M. StirlingDelightful story from Stirling's Emberverse, this one taking place 57 years after the Change in Russia. It's fun to get to see how things are going in another part of the world. I thought this one started a bit slow, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it as it progressed.15) Ninieslando by Howard WaldropThe story takes place during World War I in the no man's land between trench lines. This was the only story that I just plain did not like. The characters were flat and uninteresting and the story was weird and didn't go anywhere. (I don't mean weird in a good way.) Additionally, the language Esperanto is used in much of the story, but rather than just stating that and trusting the reader understands, hyphens were used instead of quote marks to indicate it, making reading the dialogue extremely tiresome.16) Recidivist by Gardner DozoisMixed feelings about this one too. Writing not quite as smooth as it could have been. I liked the setting, character, and general theme of AI's taking over the world from humans. But it required a bit too much suspension of disbelief in that the AI's somehow managed to not only conquer humanity, but they became able to reshape the physical world. Such as moving continents around the planet on a whim.17) My Name is Legion by David MorrellThis story had great potential to be a real snooze as most of it is an American soldier in theFrench Foreign Legion during World War II just thinking about stuff, including historical events. But it's written in way that pulls the reader right along and in the end was quite moving.18) Defenders of the Frontier by Robert SilverbergA bleak tale of a small company of men defending the frontier against an enemy that is no more in a fort that their distant empire has forgotten and abandoned. It's told in first person present tense so it was annoying to read at first but then I got absorbed in the story and it didn't matter anymore.19) The Scroll by David BallA bloody and twisted story about a French engineer in the seventeenth century (if I remember right) who is a captive slave of an emperor in Morocco who plays sadistic psychological games.20) The Mystery Knight by George R. R. MartinThis story is set in the Song of Fire and Ice world. A hedge knight and his squire attend a wedding tourney and get mixed up in a treasonous plot. Martin's typical cast of thousands sometimes make things difficult to follow, but his skill as a storyteller as usual prevails.

    Very enjoyable
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019*

I enjoyed the short stories written by the different authors. It provided several genres and some I don't really gravitate towards normally. I appreciated the introduction to the author at the beginning of each story because it gave me an opportunity to purchase their work for more reading fun.
