Welcome back to Left of Boom. I m your host, Military.com managing editor Hope Hodge Seck. It s not often that you see generals and admirals walking around with a novel tucked under their arm. But if you do, there s a solid chance it s one written by Dr. Peter Singer and August Cole. These military technologists have pioneered a way to bring future warfare scenarios to life through gripping fiction that is as fun to read as it is terrifying to envision.
