Other contributions feature "Because thou lovest the Burning-ground" by Kube-McDowell, "Ballad of the Spanish civil guard" by Kathe Koja, and "The Vatican outfit" by Laura Resnick. Additional tales include "Tut’s wife" by Maureen F. McHugh, "Extreme feminism" by Nicholas A. DiChario, and "The battle of all mothers" by Jack Nimersheim. The collection also presents "Jihad" by Mercedes Lackey, "Sam Clemens and the notable mare" by Mel White, and "… But the sword!" by Anthony R. Lewis, among others. With themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the clash of ideologies, this anthology explores the complexities of peace and conflict through the lens of speculative fiction, inviting readers to reconsider the legacies of these historical figures.
