Scott’s Planet
With the advent of Faster Than Light travel humanity had spread to thousands of habitable worlds in the galaxy. These colonies saw successes, quiet failures, and more than a few disasters. Then, economic reality set in. The costs of resupplying all those planets became too much for the Union. Thus the day came when the colonists on worlds including Scott’s Planet were “released” from their Union obligations, deeded their worlds, and…abandoned. These are the stories of what happened next on Scott’s Planet. Edited by Jared Kavanagh and Bob Brown. Buy Paperback / Buy eBook
Alternative Liberties
Alternative Liberties gathers together some of the finest minds in speculative fiction to address the implications of politics in 2025 and beyond. Adam-Troy Castro presents a riveting story of a quiet citizen undergoing an increasingly surreal house arrest. Louise Marley writes from the perspective of a future academic who proposes a Ph.D. thesis about our times. Harry Turtledove gives us the tale of a woman enthralled by the Terrific Leader. In Brenda Cooper’s “A Better President,” a Black D.C. teenager, passing as white, accidentally plays a key role in a fascist riot. In the thoughtful “Afterward,” David Gerrold presents an all-too-relatable figure: a man estranged from his neighbors in an increasingly paranoid society. Elwin Cotman gives us a hack writer who guts American literary classics to appeal to a contemporary rightwing audience. As frightening as our times appear, these writers envision daring, resistance, and hope. DP Seller’s tale of resistance at the Port of New Orleans has magical overtones. Voss Foster celebrates queer teens whose courage and collaboration enable them to survive in their ultra-conservative communities. Edited by K.G. Anderson, Lou J Berger, Debora Godfrey, Phyllis Irene Radford, Cliff Winnig, and founding editor Bob Brown. Buy Paperback / Buy the eBook on Amazon or order through any U.S. bookstore or library.
“Alternative Liberties is a collection of visualizations about where we are going and the country we may become under the new president’s regime. Some funny, some harrowing, some hopeful, some whimsical. Talking animals, mythical beasts, witches, faeries, preachers, thugs, what have you! It was actually an unexpectedly therapeutic read.”—Amazon review
