　　由乔治·R.R.马丁主编的小说集《战士》（Warriors）将于2013年上半年出版。
　　《战士》是一部跨文类、纯原创小说集，共收录了20篇中短篇小说。其中除收录马丁“冰与火之歌”前传之一的《神秘骑士》外，包含了劳伦斯·布洛克、泰德·威廉姆斯、加德纳·多佐伊斯、罗平·荷布、罗伯特·西尔弗伯格、西西莉亚·霍兰德等其他19位知名作家的全新作品。这些小说分属于科幻、奇幻、悬疑、历史、恐怖等各种不同的文类，但都有共同的主题——战争以及战士。
　　《战士》曾获得2011年“轨迹”奖最佳小说集奖。
　　这部小说集的中文版权由重庆出版集团以天价买进，内容编辑工作则由“史诗图书”团队承担。“史诗图书”成立于2012年8月，专注于高质量的幻想类系列丛书制作。团队成员包括“冰与火之歌”译者屈畅、赵琳，“史诗奇幻小酒馆”站长刘壮，以及“星之所在科幻书店”老板李一。
　　为了确保中文译本的文字质量，“史诗图书”邀请包括无机客、宝树、denovo、梁涵、小油飞、邹运旗、妲拉、杨蓓等在内的多位可靠译者参与小说翻译，屈畅本人则负责马丁撰写的长篇序言《旋转书报架的故事》，并于赵琳合作翻译“冰火”前传之一的《神秘骑士》。
　　《战士》是“史诗图书”团队的第一批图书项目之一，与《战士》同时进行的项目还有布兰登·桑德森长篇史诗奇幻小说“飓光志”（Stormlignt Archive）系列之《王道》（The Way of Kings，台湾版译名《王者之路》）。
