Breaking Waves reviewed at io9
Dec. 27th, 2010 12:37 amio9 has a really nice review of Breaking Waves, the anthology put together by Tiffany Trent to benefit the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Relief Fund. At the end of the review, Josh Wimmer says:
Breaking Waves is a $4.99 ebook; all proceeds go to the GCOSRF.
(Mostly, this post is just an adult way of redirecting what I actually mean, which is, OMG VONDA MCINTYRE LIKED MY STORY!!!!11!1!!!! But also, Breaking Waves is a way to help the oil spill clean-up and get to read a bunch of nifty stuff.)
Go forth and conquer, little anthology.
In my humble opinion, Randy Tatano's story "Backtiming" (deceptively simple, but keying into a fantasy I think a lot of us have entertained at some point), "Terra Incognita" by Camille Alexa (set in a deteriorating Antarctica in a dystopic near-future that is all too plausible), and Sarah Monette's "After the Dragon" are worth the price of admission alone. Vonda McIntyre personally recommended that last one when she told me about the anthology in October, and she was dead on. Strangely, of all the pieces, it probably has the least connection to Breaking Waves' general themes. But for sheer heart-grabbing-ness, vividness, and trueness, it is quite a feat.
