The arc of history is unpredictable, and no one knows where it’s headed. But that’s never stopped speculative fiction writers from shouting out a warning. Join twenty-seven of today’s top science fiction authors as they write about possible tomorrows we hope to avoid, drawing on challenges taken from today’s headlines. Hugo and Nebula Award winners, New York Times best sellers, and some of the hottest names in Hollywood all come together to share tales from a future worth fighting against. This is a project of passion for all involved. We hope that passion is evident and contagious. At least 50% of each sale of this anthology will go to the ACLU.

Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME focuses on life after the apocalypse

Всемогущество… Мы лишь мечтаем о нем, но есть и те, кто обладает им. Это ведьмы, кудесники, некроманты, чернокнижники, заклинатели. Их глаза видят сквозь туман земного бытия, их ладони лежат на рычагах управления вселенной. Маг разглядит будущее в хрустальном шаре, приручит фантастического зверя и превратит свинец в золото… или вас — в лягушку, если вздумаете его рассердить. Вступите же в мир, где нет ничего невозможного, где воображаемое с легкостью становится реальным. Пройдите дорогами чародеев — и вы поймете, что значит быть по-настоящему всемогущим! Никогда еще магия не была такой волнующей и увлекательной. Прославленный составитель антологий Джон Джозеф Адамс собрал для вас тридцать два завораживающих чуда от самых талантливых волшебников фантастики и фэнтези

Созданный под редакцией Джона Джозефа Адамса и Хью Хауи — опытнейших составителей фантастических антологий, Триптих Апокалипсиса представляет собой серию из трех сборников апокалиптической фантастики. «Хаос на пороге» фокусируется на событиях, предшествующих массовой катастрофе, когда лишь единицы предчувствовали грядущий коллапс. «Царствие хаоса» обрушивает на человечество мощные удары, практически не оставляющие выбора ни странам, ни отдельным людям. «Хаос: отступление?» изображает участь человечества после Апокалипсиса. В этом сборнике вашему вниманию представлены 20 новых, ранее не публиковавшихся историй, вышедших из-под пера Тананарив Дью, Нэнси Кресс, Кена Лю, Дэвида Веллингтона, Джейми Форда и многих других мастеров современной фантастической прозы
