P.S. I'm not going to tag the existing [[The Concept of War (novel)]] page as [[:Template:Invalid|invalid]], because either ''Concept of War'' is a valid story, ''or'' it's fanfic we shouldn't even have a page about. In ''no'' plausible scenario could it be covered-as-invalid. But that doesn't mean the Wiki am not approaching this with a healthy degree of skepticism. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:57, October 27, 2020 (UTC) | P.S.

: I want to be honest here, and while I would love for evidence to surface that proves this story's legitimacy, with what evidence I can find, I'm not exactly hopeful. The fact that it was published in a physical format in ''such a small quantity nobody appears to own a copy'', and the only way to read it is to purchase this dubious looking ebook for best part of £100, the whole thing seems awfully suspicious to me. | : I want to be honest here, and while I would love for evidence to surface that proves this story's legitimacy, with what evidence I can find, I'm not exactly hopeful. | ||

# As for the author, he doesn't even appear to have a bibliography (so ''how'' would an unheard of author get permission to write the first story in a series (unless if it's a pseudonym)), and his writing style, as evidenced by the "look inside" section on its Amazon listing, in my honest opinion, is pretty poor. This struck me the wrong way, in essence. | |||
# The only evidence of it being licenced is its front cover, which could easily be a lie. | |||
: While I believe this should be covered by this Wiki for now, as it seems to be a case of innocent until proven guilty, I'm not holding my breath for this story, and this is coming from a guy who wants to be as inclusive of all stories ''as possible''.
