The Aether Age: Helios

by Christopher Fletcher (Editor), Brandon H. Bell (Editor), Jaym Gates

Millennia ago, Greece, Egypt and other ancient civilizations underwent industrial revolutions beneath a sky that, in a blink of history, burgeoned into life and mystery... Take flight on airships, balloons and wooden rockets. Soar with winged hoplites, exiled princesses, explorers and philosophers. Witness the struggle for equality, freedom and power like you never have before.

I wanted SO badly to like this collection. Alt-universe plus bronze age civilizations? Um... yes please. Sadly the execution in these stories is sadly lacking. I skipped more then I read, and I'm not looking forward to going back to the collection at all. Perhaps I'll miss some hidden gem found in later chapters, but I will take that risk and mark this one as DNF.

An excellent anthology of stories of alternative history. Egypt never fades.
