Holiday in Hot Zone 16

I came up with this story after reading a newspaper article on poverty tourism.  I was intrigued by the idea that people would pay to travel to third-world countries and sightsee among the less fortunate.  Then I thought, what would war tourism be like?  I wrote “Holiday in Hot Zone 16” to answer this question.

The story was originally published  at helixsf.com.  An io9.com reviewer described it as “a brutal satire”:  http://io9.com/#!376226/war-tourism-in-a-flying-bus  It’s now a free download at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/205642 .

Note:  It’s war.  It’s bloody.  It’s graphic.  I warned you.
