About This Blog

Since July 11th, 2010, Future War Stories (AKA: "FWS") has been devoted to explain and explore the world of military science fiction through all media types by me and other contributors like Yoel. While this is defined as a "blog", it is more of a website devoted to pumping out about 2-3 research-based articles over a wide variety of topics related to military sci-fi via a number of series in the course of a month. From reviews, flash-fiction, the Armory, and Ships of the Line; FWS has it all covered. It is not just sci-fi we cover here either, FWS has makes the attempt to cover contemporary military matters and works as well/ Enjoy your stay around here, leave some commentary, and share the links!

  4. Great stuff, indeed! Thanks. There are a few typos in you post of 19 February 2015:

    FWS Topics: Mercenaries, Security Contractors, and the Private Military Company.

    Some creators used the dim reputation of the mercenary type to add "favor" to their characters, and situations. - should be "flavor"

    However, creators sometimes confuse the space pirate, bounty hunter, or rouge warrior with the mercenary, or mix them liberally. - should be 'rogue'

  5. Those have now been corrected. Thanks for the heads up!

  7. Hi there!

    Your blog is great, actually amazing. Very detailed posts, many interesting subjects.

    You did one on Dougram. I would like to see one about VOTOMS. I Still think this is one of the best military anime with mechas around. Nothing of that super stuff non sense, just military machines on the battlefield.

    Please do a post for VOTOMS and VOTOMS series of animes.

  11. Hi! My name is Chris Gerrib, and I wrote a novel called Pirates of Mars which, with its sequel The Night Watch, asks and answers the question why would anybody build a space fleet. If you're interested in free copies of either for an honest review, please email me and I'll send them, paper or electronic.

  13. Hi-I was approached by Matchbox Toys to create the entire line of what you call Robotech Fashion dolls,fashion packs, vehicles and playset in the 80's.Your blog features some of my work. I both designed and oversaw that entire line, which was approved by Harmony Gold. I have done blogs with other bloggers on some of the other famous toys I created and would be open to doing a blog with you. I have my very rare hand painted prototypes and art of this line I am thinking of letting go. Perhaps you know of some serious collectors?

  18. I would like to thank you for that blog. It is extremely well documented. This blog is my ultimate reference for anything related to military sci-fi. I guess that 95% of all humanity's military sci-fi is mentioned here.

    I really hope that you will continue to run this blog, I use it as a research engine hehehe.

    I strongly love the quality of every topic here.

  20. Here is an interesting Manga: Unparalleled Path ~ Reincarnated as the AI for a Space Battleship ~

    It looks like a kid is killed by a truck and then wakes up as a Starship AI in the middle of a space battle.
