Berkley has done a couple of paperback original anthologies
edited by Martin Greenberg, FIRST TO FIGHT and FIRST TO
FIGHT, VOL. 2. I haven't read either one, but they look
fairly interesting with stories by Coonts, James H.
Cobb
(the only techno-thriller writer I read regularly), William
Keith, and others I can't remember right now. I don't have a
story in either of these.
But I do have one in A DAY THAT WILL LIFE IN INFAMY, a Pearl
Harbor anthology coming out this fall from Cumberland House.
The catch is that it's an anthology of alternate history
stories, rather than regular war fiction. To keep this from
straying any farther off-topic, I should mention that my
story is a private eye yarn about a seedy Honolulu PI and his
part-time assistant, a taxi driver/stand-up comic/emcee in a
Hotel Street strip joint. I wouldn't say that it's
hardboiled, but it's at least in the neighborhood.
Those are the only other war fiction anthologies I can think
of.
Best, James
