War is a contest of wills. The stories in Bullet Points 14 span the rich spectrum of fantasy, from the occult shadows of modern urban conflict to the melee combat of myth and legend. Even in worlds where the rules defy scientific explanation, with edged weapons and dragon-fire to plasma pistols and summoned demons, the nature of war remains the same. Bullet Points 14 features Nebula-winner Cat Rambo, trilogy author Tom Doyle, SFWA member James S. Aaron, and many more: Cat Rambo, "Hoofsore and Weary": A band of centaur musketeers, trapped in enemy territory, must maintain unit cohesion to find their way home. Tom Doyle, "The Dark Wood": A Vietnam veteran and his wife discover that the ways societies fight often haunt the postwar lives of those who survive. Otis Johnson, "Sango's Towers": In the midst of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, a demigod battles AI overlords for control of history and the city. Gregory Nicoll, "Entrails West": On the nineteenth-century American frontier, Buffalo Soldiers struggle for survival against savage, man-eating cryptids. Eric J. Juneau, "IEDemon": In a war where "hell" is literal, even summoning demons to defuse explosives provides no guarantee of tactical dominance. Aggie Novak, "Honey in Her Mouth and Hell in Her Heart": A partisan baker wills courage and death into her bread to fight against fascist occupiers. Richard S. Crawford, "An End Worthy of the Bards": A former tyrant seeking a redemption arc discovers that the hate he once incited does not easily fade. Keira Reynolds, "When the White Peak of Nuraghad Calls Them Home": Left for dead on a blood-soaked field, two mortal enemies realize that much more binds them together than separates them. Joel Glover, "The Third Wish": A hitman discovers that in a world of enchanted brass and corporate greed, the tenor of conflict still comes down to a single choice. M. L. McCortney, "Mirage": A deserter wanders a distant desert world, haunted by a ghost from his past. Tobias Backman, "A Farewell Kiss of Fire and Blood": Dragon riders launch a last-ditch attack to save their families and their future from an oppressive regime. Cynthia Korbin, "Ending With a Monster": Stranded in a cave with a gorgon, a wounded soldier wrestles with the horrific reality that war will always be a struggle against the monstrous. James S. Aaron, "Beyond the Easy Button: Review of A Fiction Writer's Guide to Peace: Crafting Nonviolent Heroism, by Gabriel Ertsgaard": Write action-oriented heroes who solve problems by rationalizing and controlling violence, rather than unleashing it. Nathan W. Toronto, "Review of The Two Week Curse, by Michael Chatfield": Two marine buddies rely on mutual trust and military skill in a hard-driving, in-your-face LitRPG adventure.
