[QUOTE="Shane_Leahy, post: 2016569, member: 15909"] Its not the far future but take a look at Harry Turtledove's The Darkness stories. World War in a magical world. Kinda WWII based, with ships on Ley-lines, Dragons as fighters, large beasts as tanks, etc. Here is a quote from his website... The Darkness series is the story of a world war in a world where magic works. When the Duke of Bari suddenly dies, the nation of Algarve, long seething over its defeat a generation ago in the Six Years' War, sees its change to bring his country back, as they see it, into the Algarvian fold--which the countries surrounding Algarve cannot, by treaty, tolerate. As nation after nation declares war, a chain of treaties are invoked, ultimately bringing almost all the Powers into a war of unprecedented destructiveness. For modern magic is deadlier than magic in eras past. Trained flocks of dragons rain explosive fire down on defenseless cities. Massed infantry race from place to place along a sophisticated network of ley-lines. Rival powers harness sea leviathans to help sabotage one another's ships. The lights are going out all across Derlavai, and will not come back on in this lifetime. [/QUOTE]
