Looking over this broad assortment of stories and authors, it’s clear that this anthology has exactly lived up to its ambition. These are (mostly) highly readable and enjoyable stories that take the raw materials of science fiction and give them a different spin. Two authors that I was previously unfamiliar with, Nick Wood and Efe Okogu, are now on my radar, and for that if nothing else, I’m grateful to the editor. Although it is coming out from a small press, it would be lovely if this anthology were to get some of the wider attention it deserves.
