Oligarchs are grabbing power, rights are being trampled, and even with millions marching in No Kings rallies, we’re feeling helpless, hopeless, and unheard.

It is time to Resist!

It is more important than ever to stand up to be noticed, stand up for the downtrodden, stand up for what’s right.

With the publication of our newest anthology, Resistance, Fantastic Books is joining the fight. Profits from the sale of this anthology will be donated to two organizations that are doing their part: the American Civil Liberties Union and Pro Publica.

The eighteen science fiction and fantasy stories in this book tell tales of standing up for what’s right, fighting against oppression and repression, showing that even one person can make a difference. All the authors represented in this volume have donated their stories to help support the cause, and four of them—Scott Edelman, Ron Kaiser, Samantha Katz, and Allen Steele (in collaboration with Ian Randal Strock)—have provided brand-new, never-before-published stories. The other authors are: E.C. Ambrose, David Brin, Michael A. Burstein, Randee Dawn, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Gregory Frost, Daniel M. Kimmel, Shariann Lewitt, Gail Z. Martin, Susan Shwartz, Hildy Silverman, Cecilia Tan, Michael A. Ventrella, and Jean Marie Ward.
