Reviews
"John Joseph Adams has curated an impressive selection of science fiction that is truly forward-thinking, from some of the most famous names in the business...Wastelands: The New Apocalypse has re-sparked my love for sf&f anthologies" - The Frumious Consortium
"These stories are entertaining and action-packed; clever, creative, and sometimes even a little bit funny. It may be ironic to use the worst disasters we can imagine as a platform for escapism, but, as the Wastelands series shows, the apocalypse is one hell of an opportunity." - Tor.com
"As the editor of several apocalypse-themed anthologies...Adams has selected some of the best apocalyptic fiction to found anywhere. His brand-new follow-on in the Wastelands series, The New Apocalypse, continues this tradition." - Kirkus Reviews
