Edited by Tomek Dzido
(Storgy Books, £12.99)
THE FOCUS of this ambitious Storgy anthology, mixing emerging talent with established writers of sf and fantasy, is the price humanity will pay if we continue to exploit each other and plunder the planet’s resources.
The tone may be persistently pessimistic, but a sombre theme is illuminated with an assortment of engaging, finely crafted and compelling stories.
