Americans have always romanticized space travel. We are a people who, good or bad, have ever had their eyes on the horizon, and when we conquered our own horizons, we turned to the horizon of space. We have elevated intrepid astronauts to the status of American heroes, and as a nation we mourned the loss of the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia . Astronauts, however, are not our only national heroes; they are preceded in that honor by the Marines. Marines have a credo, Semper Fidelis . It means “always faithful,” and Marines have honored that credo throughout our nation’s history. They have remained faithful to their mission, to their country, and to each other. It is easy to admire such men, which is why we so love stories about Marines; they embody the faith, nobility and honor to which we all aspire. In this volume of stories, the Marines were sent to space to do what Marines do. And some of them made it home to tell their stories and figure out what's next.

Authors

As a believer that the world is too small to live in one place, Evan has spent the last 25 years moving about with his wife. Together, they've raised two fantastic children who've flown the coup for their own adventures. Evan and his wife have resided on a small farm in Southern Virginia for the last ten years. If Evan isn't at the keyboard writing, he's cooking or working somewhere on the property. Evan's primary vice in life is literature. He is a jack of all trades regarding literary interests, including non-fiction histories, biographies, noir mysteries, modern-day thrillers, and classic fiction, such as Dumas and Chaucer. Evan enjoys space operas, high fantasy novels, and mecha novels the most.

Daughter of two Cuban political exiles, M.C.A. Hogarth was born a foreigner in the American melting pot and has had a fascination for the gaps in cultures and the bridges that span them ever since. She has been many things—-web database architect, product manager, technical writer and massage therapist—-but is currently a full-time parent, artist, writer and anthropologist to aliens, both human and otherwise. Her fiction has variously been recommended for a Nebula, a finalist for the Spectrum, placed on the secondary Tiptree reading list and chosen for two best-of anthologies; her art has appeared in RPGs, magazines and on book covers.
