MYTHIC ORBITS 2016: BEST SPECULATIVE FICTION By Christian Authors : Bear Publications : 9781635358889 : 1635358884 : 31 Dec 2016 : This anthology is a showcase for the best stories submitted in the general field of speculative fiction by Christian authors for this project. It represents a wide variety of genres, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, and paranormal. There is no common theme to these tales, though the subject of empathy or lack thereof does come up in them repeatedly. This is most definitely not an anthology about orbits which are somehow mythical. The main goal of this anthology was to demonstrate that Christian authors can write speculative fiction well. Stories with a wide range of appeal are included here, mostly serious, some with humor, some with "happy endings" and others clearly not so happy. All of them worth reading. Some of these stories feature Christian characters in speculative fiction worlds, some make use of Christian themes either subtly or overt
