5.0
This was a excellent anthology, with a wide range of story types from modern military to old west.
Anthologies can sometime be a mixed bag, with good and not so good stories, but this one was pretty solid, with my least favourite being at least a 4 out of 5. all the rest were 4.5's or higher.
some of my favourite stories are below all of which I'd rate as 5 out of 5 stars.
Blank White Page by James A. Moore - a old west creature feature.
Bug Hunt by Jonathan Maberry - 3 way battle between modern soldiers, terrorists and giant alien spiders.
Making Waves by Curtis C Chen - WWII with Lovecraftian magic and monsters
A Tide of Flesh by Jeff Hewitt - English outpost during the early occupation of Africa, get attacked my all variants of zombies, people and animals, brutal and outstanding.
The other thing I like about it is that you don't need to be a military enthusiast to enjoy and understand these stories.
I will defiantly be checking out more of the SNAFU books, and I highly recommend this fast paced, action packed book.
