A review by pers
Alien Artifacts by Patricia Bray, Joshua Palmatier
4.0
This was an excellent anthology (funded by the Zombies Need Brains kickstarter team). Out of 19 stories, only 2 didn't really work for me - one is the epilogue to an already published novel (which I find irritating because I've never read the novel nor even any other books by the author - it feels both cheeky and lazy, somehow), and the other didn't have enough exposition to satisfy me, making me feel like I'd walked into the second act of a stage play - I'm sure I'd have enjoyed it more had there been a bit more background to it.
Particular favourites in the collection are Juliet E McKenna's 'The Sphere', Gail Z Martin & Larry N Martin's 'The Hunt', Andrija Popovic's 'The Captain's Throne', Anthony Lowe's 'The Haint of Sweetwater River', Sharon Lee & Steve Miller's 'Shame the Devil', and Jennifer Dunne's 'Music of the Stars'.
