A miniatures wargame of gritty futuristic combat, Tomorrow's War projects the tactics and technology of today's military conflicts hundred's of years into the future. While robot drones, anti-gravity vehicles, and advanced battle-suit technology have changed the face of warfare, the essentials of combined-arms tactics have remained constant. Using the popular Force on Force rules as a basis, Ambush Alley Games has created the most realistic and tactically challenging science fiction wargame on the market. The rulebook includes a detailed optional 'future history' and a campaign system so that individual battles can be linked into an ongoing storyline.

When Ellie and six of her friends return home from a camping trip deep in the bush, they find things hideously wrong -- their families gone, houses empty and abandoned, pets and stock dead. Gradually they begin to comprehend that their country has been invaded and everyone in the town has been taken prisoner. As the horrible reality of the situation becomes evident they have to make a life-and-death decision: to run back into the bush and hide, to give themselves up to be with their families, or to stay and try to fight. This reveting, tautly-drawn novel seems at times to be only a step away from today's headlines.

A fighter pilot embarks on a daring journey in this unique blend of science fiction and fast-paced action-adventure. In an alternate universe, the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1998. Within weeks, their massive navy has seized control of the Panama Canal and all of South America. Hope lies in Hawk Hunter, a refugee from another dimension who’s the greatest fighter pilot the world, in any dimension, has ever seen. He mounts a daring raid on Tokyo, dropping a bomb so powerful that it obliterates the Japanese mainland—sinking it beneath the waves like a new Atlantis. And then, after his greatest triumph, the Wingman vanishes. Finding him is left to Yaz, the sharpest spy the government has to offer, and Zoltan the Magnificent, a US Psychic Corps officer with a dramatic streak. As they get on Hunter’s trail, they find that the Wingman isn’t dead—he’s embarked on his greatest adventure yet. The Tomorrow War is the sixteenth book of the Wingman series, which also includes Wingman and The Circle War.

In this book, distinguished military theorist Vincent Desportes warns that war is ready to make a comeback around the globe and the Western powers are not prepared for it. He argues that while weaponry, tactics, alliances, and objectives are constantly evolving, our political and military leaders are relying on outdated methods to combat them. General Desportes states: "The feeble performance of our current tools obliges us to understand the evolution of forms of strength, of nuisance, and of violence. This is a matter of survival, for our civilization and for ourselves. The future lies within us and in our powers of understanding and adaptation, nowhere else. Political and military leaders, thus have to give force back its utility; this force which is as essential today as it was yesterday. Restoring utility to force means understanding wars we will probably be called upon to fight and the political factors involved. We need to reflect long and hard and to act on the conclusions. We need to change our thinking."
