Books in the Feral Astrogators series

Retellings of the Inland Seas re-imagines Mediterranean and Black Sea stories, from a Minoan exodus through wormholes to Furies on Mars, from space Argonauts to Imazighen and Scythian warrior queens. Inland Seas is the editor’s tribute to her aeon-deep roots, and her effort to reclaim foundational myths that are nevertheless considered déclassé common property because of long, casual handling that has flattened their echoing depths.

Science-based wonder is the core of science fiction. Yet the genre mostly cast science as either triumph or hubris. In To Shape the Dark, editor Athena Andreadis offers readers women heroes who are doing science not-as-usual. Scientists are astrogators who never sleep; and To Shape the Dark is part of that vigil.
