Another six months, another Fantastic Books newsletter.

​

I’m writing today because today is publication day. Our latest anthology (the first I myself have edited) is Resistance. Eighteen stories of standing up to tyranny, struggling for freedom, fighting against oppression, all donated by their authors to this book, because it’s being published as a charity.

 

Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the ACLU and to ProPublica. Those organizations are doing important work involving civil liberties, accountability, and investigative journalism—work which is especially important today. And your purchase will help them to continue the fight, while also bringing you stories about:
* fighting big business just to control your own image
* protecting a race whose own realm is dying
* robots turning on one of their own
* a trickster god who lives to torment the tormentors
* the dangers of having your brain implant hacked
* the horror of stopping a war
* and many more.

 

In addition to fourteen previously published stories by David Brin, Michael A. Burstein, Randee Dawn, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Gregory Frost, E.C. Ambrose, Daniel M. Kimmel, Shariann Lewitt, Gail Z. Martin, Susan Shwartz, Hildy Silverman, Cecilia Tan, Michael A. Ventrella, and Jean Marie Ward, there are four brand new stories, by Scott Edelman, Ron Kaiser, Samantha Katz, and the first collaboration between Allen Steele and myself.

 

Thanks for reading, thanks for your support, thanks for joining the resistance.
