Overall, I found nearly all series to be at least minimally enjoyable.

I've found some new authors to follow, which is fantastic, and have seen yet more evidence of how popular the zombie apocalypse is today in world-ending fictions. We are the zombies, folks. Our appetites consume the present and the future. No virus required. I did want to say how much I especially appreciated the ending of Will McIntosh's Nodding Flu series, Dancing with a Stranger in the Land of Nod. The disabled-are-better-off-dead trope was, perhaps unavoidably, especially apparent in this trilogy (of books, not just this storyline in particular), and while it didn't ruin the series for me, there was always that niggling voice in the back of my head going, "You THINK you'd hate it; you THINK you'd feel better off dead;" but from my many friends dealing with varied levels of disability and difference, I know it is very rarely that simple. And that the assumption that the disabled must hate their lives very often damages the lives of the disabled more than the disability does. So it was really lovely, really wonderful for that story line to wrap up with a person realizing that, inside their paralyzed bodies, her family members are getting real joy out of still living. Thank you, Will. This is the third, final volume of THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH and it finally describes worlds after their end, thus it can be seen as the only one ‘real’ representative of post-apocalyptic fiction in the trilogy. Most of the stories are to some extent are continuations/endings for the ones from the previous volumes, so while the book can be read as a stand-alone anthology, it is greatly preferred to be read in sequence from the first book onward. Just like with the previous volumes, there are some pretty good stories and some of so-so category. My personal favorites are: • BANNERLESS Carrie Vaughn • DANCING WITH A STRANGER IN THE LAND OF NOD Will McIntosh • PROTOTYPE Sarah Langan • CARRIERS Tananarive Due • IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF THE PROMISED LAND Robin Wasserman • JINGO AND THE HAMMERMAN Jonathan Mabery • THE GODS HAVE NOT DIED IN VAIN Ken Liu Overall I liked the book a bit less than the previous volumes, but maybe I am just tired of all the gloom. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur Reihe
"Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. The Apocalypse Triptych will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, The Apocalypse Triptych is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. The End is Nigh focuses on life before the apocalypse. The End is Now turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And The End Has Come focuses on life after the apocalypse"--Publisher.
