The Aurora-winning fantasy anthology!The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are coming. And four Archangels find the perfect champions to save the world: fighters, warriors, soldiers, and brave men, all ready to fight for humanity against end times. All they have to do is drink a shooter — a caustic mix of alcohol and divinity that will imbue them with the conviction to battle the Four.

The good news continues into 2010 for Women of the Apocalypse. We received notification that Women of the Apocalypse has been nominated in the English Works (Other) category (this category is for anthologies and magazines) and Eileen Bell’s novella ‘Pawns Dreaming of Roses‘ has been nominated in the English Short Works (an amazing feat considering there were over 125 other entries).

Vue Weekly, a weekly entertainment newspaper for Edmonton, recently reviewed Women of the Apocalypse.
As a whole, her are some of the finer snippets:
“The freshness and playfulness of the theme is infectious.”
“…though the stories do get progressively darker, the transition feels natural and not jarring…”
“… there is a refreshing lack of black and white dogma…”
“… another narrative thread of semi-poetical nature that intrigued, foreshadowed and enriched the story.”
“It’s a wondrously creative concept and the individuality of each champion of humanity is emphasized by the disparateness existing between the writing styles of each story’s author. Each story is a unique experience wholly self-sustained and entertaining.”

Robert J. Sawyer is “the dean of Canadian Science Fiction,” according to The Ottawa Citizen, “just about the best science-fiction writer out there,” according to the Denver Rocky Mountain News, and “by any reckoning, among the most successful Canadian authors ever,” according to Maclean’s.
Robert Sawyer has this to say (among other things) about the Women of the Apocalypse:
This is, without doubt, one of the major theme anthologies of 2009, and deserves a place on the Aurora Award ballot — as do the individual stories. The anthology recently made the bestsellers’ list published in the Calgary Herald.
