Apollo's Daughters

by Bryan Young (Editor)

Some of the best and biggest names in science fiction have lent their talent to Silence in the Library for this collection of genre stories, all featuring some of the coolest and most complex female characters.

From a woman trapped in a robotic suit in a grim Australian future to a magick-wielding Russian soldier on the run from her own side, Apollo’s Daughters is a concentrated dose of exactly the kinds of stories you’re looking for.

This collection was created as a companion to Silence in the Library’s Athena’s Daughters, and, as a bonus, contains “Disarray,” the last novella by New York Times Bestseller Aaron Allston.

This anthology is edited by Bryan Young and features illustrations by Elias Pate, Tim Odland, and Mark Dos Santos.

490 pages, Paperback

Fun but not many of the stories stuck with me. Allston & Stackpole turned in their normal high quality work, though, so I did enjoy those.
