In "The Art of the Long View," published in 1991, Peter Schwartz presented scenario-building as a useful planning tool. First, he argued that “driving forces” move the plot of a scenario. These forces often involve developments in society, technology, economics, and politics. Next, Schwartz identified “predetermined elements,” or events that seem certain to occur. Examples include population change, resource constraints, and inevitable collisions. Third, Schwartz explored “critical uncertainties,” which are important unknown events. After identifying these three factors, ...

Set in David Drake's Hammer's Slammers universe (with his gracious permission) this is a story about a vectored-thrust (aircar) unit that I developed while deployed in Afghanistan. I decided to write this as a way of staying away from the canon stuff, and wanted to do my own thing. The story is set after The Sharp End, and is commended by Lt. Karen Juniper. She leads the troop fighting the El Cator gang in the mountainous Pollo Mountains. It's a counter-insurgency book, so if you're looking for great space battles, this book isn't for you. But it hightlights the vagaries of mountain warfare...
