Description:
Standing up for what's right can be hard. Meekly knuckling under can be even worse. And when the tyrants in power have a vested interest in keeping you down, the only thing to do is resist.
Resistance at all levels is important-personal, group, and institutional-and must be supported. This anthology is being published as a fund-raiser to preserve and enforce our Constitutional freedoms. Profits earned from the sales of this anthology will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union and Pro Publica, to help continue the fight against tyranny and for freedom.
Join our authors-all of whom donated their work for this important cause-for tales of:
* fighting big business just to control your own image
* protecting a race whose own realm is dying
* robots turning on one of their own
* a trickster god who lives to torment the tormentors
* the dangers of having your brain implant hacked
* the horror of stopping a war
* and many more.
Featuring stories by: David Brin, Michael A. Burstein, Randee Dawn, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Gregory Frost, E.C. Ambrose, Daniel M. Kimmel, Shariann Lewitt, Gail Z. Martin, Susan Shwartz, Hildy Silverman, Cecilia Tan, Michael A. Ventrella, and Jean Marie Ward. And brand-new stories by: Scott Edelman, Ron Kaiser, Samantha Katz, and Allen Steele.
