Feral Astrogators Books

Science-based wonder is the core of science fiction. Yet the genre mostly cast science as either triumph or hubris.

Retellings of the Inland Seas re-imagines Mediterranean and Black Sea stories, from a Minoan exodus through wormholes to Furies on Mars, from space Argonauts to Imazighen and Scythian warrior queens. Inland Seas is the editor's tribute to her aeon-deep roots, and her effort to reclaim foundational myths that are nevertheless considered déclassé common property because of long, casual handling that has flattened their echoing depths.
