	* Eleanor Arnason's Daughter of the Bear King		Note: "Warrior" may be distinguished from military personnel. Most specifically, military personnel serve in a state-based or independent mercenary military body, whereas a "warrior" may be a solo operator. The key distinction is probably on individual fighting skills versus operational skills in an army.

	* Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress series of anthologies and Darkover series		More generally, "warrior" often implies specific warrior and combat skills, such as hand-to-hand combat, sword, or archery; it has more of an old-fashioned connotation; it may imply a warrior's code or even a caste system; it might be used more in fantasy, dying earth, or low-technology societies. By contrast, "military" has more of a connotation of group-fighting skills; high-technology or specialized skills that may not even be combat or weapons skills (artillery, defense, combat pilot); a term that might be used more in spacefaring societies, modern- or industrialized societies with higher technology. Warriors in this classical sense and military personnel may mix in a society; see, e.g., [[Elizabeth Moon]]'s ''The Deed of Paksenarrion''. Similarly in military SF some characters may be specialized with combat skills and described as warriors.
