Review of Lesbians In Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before

Lesbians In Space: Where No Man Has Gone BeforeLesbians In Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before by J.S. Fields

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Some anthologies can be tough reads because the theme is too narrow. This is not one of them - in fact, it's the best anthology I've read in a while. Thanks to a wide group of authors and good editing, there's not a bad story in the bunch. Having said that, a couple of highlights:

"Vendo Does Not Give Change" - an interesting take on AI and evolution.
"The Mycologist's Guide to Identifying and Antagonizing Extraterrestrial Fungi" - one of two stories with intelligent fungi in them.
"Decompression" - a two-character love story.
"While it Lasted" - an entertaining heist story.
"The Ritter Maneuver" - a great short Star Trek parody.

I highly recommend this book, and there's a Volume 2 coming out soon!
