Lesbians In Space: The Sapphics Strike Back by J S FieldsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full disclosure - I am a Kickstarter backer of this and the previous Lesbians in Space anthology.
I rang in the New Year by reading this book. Like most anthologies, there were a few stories that were not to my taste. However, the hits were numerous and the misses few. A couple of standout stories were:
"Try Again Mommy Bex" - this was a mashup of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Resident Evil." I quite liked the twists of this story.
"Waystation" - a nice meet-cute mystery.
"Leader of the Pack" - an alt-history space adventure.
"The Last Voyage of the Headfucker" - a bit raw (as if the title didn't give you that information) but very well done nonetheless.
I highly recommend this anthology!
