From the 1898 Martian Siege of Baltimore to a forlorn AI attack dog on the blue-star-scarred surface of MZ458-C and from the merc-manned Freestead Mayflower off the coast of post-apocalyptic Portland to the man-desperate shores of the Red Sea, here are seventeen science fiction stories of valiant endurance. These heroes battle conspiracies of usurpers, confront the unearned consequences of others’ willful lunacy, seek out buried truths at unbearable personal expense and endure the inhuman demands of digital rebellion in worlds innately hostile to truth and freedom. With original, never-before-published works from veteran authors, including William F. Wu, as well as emerging talents.

Vaughn Treude grew up on a farm in North Dakota where the isolation and the scarcity of other kids his age made books a welcome escape. He has been reading science fiction and fantasy as long as he can remember. In 2012, he published his first novel, Centrifugal Force, about computer hackers who overthrow the US government. Since then he has concentrated on steampunk, writing Fidelio's Automata and co­authoring the “Professor Ione D.” series of young adult novels with his wife Arlys Holloway. Vaughn and Arlys are also co­creators of the musical comedy One Good Man, which is loosely based on Arlys' experiences in the on­line dating world.

Michael is the co-creator (along with wife, Shell) of the Ascension Epoch, an open content, collaborative fiction project. In this setting, the re-emergence of superpowers and the invasion of H.G. Wells' Martians in the 19th century have led to a radically transformed present. Their work draws heavily upon public domain literature and comic books. His most recent work, The Dismal Tide, follows the adventures, romances, and ethical conflicts of the East End Irregulars, a teenage superhero team from Pittsburgh. Other published Ascension Epoch books include After Dark, the first book in the East End Irregulars series; Salamander Six, a sci-fi short story about airborne firefighters; Population of Loss, a collection of four short stories set during the Martian Invasion; Copper Knights and Granite Men, a superhero/occult adventure story based on the King in Yellow mythos; and House of Refuge, a tale of ocean rescue service Atlantic Littoral, which won second place in the 2014 LFA/SFA Libertarian Short Story Contest.
