Fall and Rise: Post-Apocalyptic Stories Challenging the Paradigm: "Survival of the Fittest"...

There have been anthologies of post-apocalyptic fiction, but none such as this one. When it comes to post-apocalyptic survival, the paradigm is the usual "survival of the fittest" with "fittest" meaning the most unethical, the most selfish. Can man survive apocalypse without giving up ethics? The stories in this unique anthology pose answers to this question from different angles.

Edited by Ahmed A. Khan, the star-studded lineup of authors includes: Phyllis Gotlieb, Robert Sawyer, Jay Lake, Gary Markette, John Park, Bronwyn Elko, Marian Powell, Kurt Kirchmeier, Kaori Praschak, Ian Rogers, Paul Carlson, John Rogers, Dwight O. Allen, Jr.

"My contribution, “The Shoulders of Giants,” is a reprint — but also, I think, one of my very best stories." - Robert J. Sawyer
