Apocalyptic Four

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.
