SHOCKED, SHOCKED SHOCKED. BEHOLD MY SHOCKED FACE:  Anti-Israel Girl Who Attacked Teenager in IDF Sweatshirt Graduated From Barack Obama School for Social Justice.

THIS PROBABLY CONTAINS DAVID DRAKE’S LAST PUBLISHED SHORT STORY, AS WELL AS ONE BY MY FRIEND MARTIN SHOEMAKER AND LARRY CORREIA, BRAD TORGERSEN, MIKE WILLIAMSON AND OTHERS:  Weird World War: China.

When the United States and China clash, the world will never be the same, especially when forces beyond reality threaten to intervene.

What if the United States went to war with the People’s Republic of China? How would these rivals fight for supremacy on land, sea, air, and across the stochastic streams of time? What wonder weapons would be unleashed? What horrors would emerge from the eradiated sludge of the South China Sea? What heroes would rise and forever change the course of history? Tread into the deepest and darkest dimensions of the multiverse, gaze through a kaleidoscope of fractured realities, and bear witness to the disturbing visions of World War III from today’s greatest minds in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
