The Aviator: Stories of Future Wars is a two-book series by Craig DiLouie that imagines near-future military conflicts in Asia. Published in 2021, both novellas combine realistic military hardware with speculative scenarios about where the next major wars might break out.
The Aviator of the Sino-American War puts readers in the cockpit during an air war between the United States and China, while The Warfighter of the Second Korean War moves to ground combat on the Korean Peninsula. DiLouie’s background in military fiction gives these stories a grounded feel, even as they speculate about weapons systems and geopolitical flashpoints that haven’t happened yet.
