The Year’s Best Military & Adventure SF is a four-volume science fiction anthology series associated with Sarah Pinsker, published between 2015 and 2019. The series started as The Year’s Best Military SF & Space Opera: First Annual Edition in 2015 and continued under slightly different titles through Volume 5 in 2019. Each volume collects standout military and adventure science fiction stories from the prior year.
Because these are anthologies rather than a continuous narrative, readers can pick up any volume on its own. That said, reading them in order gives a nice view of how military science fiction evolved over that stretch of years. The four volumes cover a five-year span from 2015 to 2019.
