Five Extraordinary Science Fiction Heroines Fight Battles With Courage, Wit, & Charm
I have been reading science fiction for decades, but I have never read an anthology as compelling as Infinite Dimensions (Crossroads). Composed of stories which focus on five women who each must make a critical decision that will change her life, it uses intense action, humor, insight into current social trends, and cutting edge imagination to create scenarios that captured me from the start. From the female gladiator who escaped into a society that attempted to use mind control to stop her from truly being free, to the unstoppable descendant of a rebel who brings new hope to the colonies on Mars, to the incorruptible emergency management pro who fights the corporations that cause and then benefit from environmental catastrophes, to the tireless physician who learns her life's work is based on a lie but finds the courage to start fighting a corrupt society (and maybe save it), and finally a scientist who finds both romance and a mission to stop the students in her world from being denied the right to learn, I was hooked. I only hope the writers can continue their partnership and give us more fruits of this unique collaboration.
