Book Description

June 1, 2009
WARRIOR WISEWOMAN 2

Norilana Books presents the second volume of an exciting new annual anthology series of science fiction featuring powerful and remarkable women. Explore the truth of what it means to be female, and discover the wisdom and the strength of a woman in a grand universe without limits. Far-ranging scientific speculation meets action and adventure, grand space opera, thrilling discovery, and intelligent protagonists.

"James has done a good job of assembling a lineup that satisfies more than it disappoints and is a properly varied representation of feminist science fiction."
-- Publishers Weekly

"The stories are austere, lyrical, and fuse science with ethics and emotion in a way that is very rare."
-- Susan Shwartz

Contributors in this volume include:

Jennifer Brissett, Ian Whates, Jennifer R. Povey, Ardath Mayhar, Leslie Brown, Lee Martindale, Sarah Ellender & Michael O'Connor, Deborah Walker, Jeff Crook, Catherine Mintz, David Bartell, Kate MacLeod, Karen Elizabeth Rigley & Ann Miller House, Z. S. Adani, and DJ Cockburn.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Somewhat distanced from the first volume's attempts to be a science fiction companion to feminist fantasy series Sword and Sorceress, this collection offers up 15 stories of varying strength and appeal. Standouts include Ian Whate's Shop Talk, in which a young woman deals with xenophobia; Lee Martindale's Lady Blaze, which puts a new spin on pirates and prostitutes in space; and Jennifer R. Povey's Working the High Steel, an adventure involving high-atmosphere construction. Less successful are Jennifer Brisset's death penalty allegory The Executioner and DJ Cockburn's Rainfire by Night, a postapocalyptic fantasy about a tribe of car worshippers. This series is still finding its voice, but James has done a good job of assembling a lineup that satisfies more than it disappoints and is a properly varied representation of feminist science fiction.

Being women, we tend to think out our wars... and unlike most, we exhibit the traits necessary both to make things happen, and the patience to know when the time is right.
