Championship B'tok

The name of the game is B'tok. It's how the alien Snakes learn military strategy. B'tok is to chess as chess is to rock-paper-scissors. You do not want to tick off Snakes -- especially when aggrieved Snakes may be the least of your worries. This thrilling adventures moves the story of the InterstellarNet forward as only Edward M. Lerner could do it. This special Hugo Nominee edition of Championship B'tok includes both the version nominated for the 2015 Hugo for Best Novelette, and the version that was incorporated into Edward M. Lerner's latest science fiction novel, InterstellarNet: Enigma, just published by FoxAcre Press. And remember: it's not how you play the game -- it's how you win.
