The two anthologies are geared towards showing you how warfare might be pursued if wyrd and magical powers were available to us.  I am looking forward to it, even if I am not in the first anthology.  My story of Captain William Carter during the Revolutionary War will be in the second anthology though.  And if you wish to check out another example of him at war while you\u2019re waiting for Wyrd Warfare, check out Last Ride on the Asia Express in The Big Ones.  That anthology is devoted to alternate histories of World War II, and I can say without any reservation that the Marine Raiders never rode the Asia Express in Manchuria, and the Japanese never sent a terrible weapon on the Asia Express to Dalian where a submarine that could travel around the world was absolutely not waiting for it.  There is nothing at all wyrd about any of this.  Nothing at all.  None of it ever happened.  Or did it?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Big Ones (Raconteur Press Anthologies Book 36)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_mg1vIunRcEipkl&#038;asin=B0DG5ZRJKT&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raconteur Press is releasing the first of two Wyrd Warfare anthologies this week.
