title: To Shape the Dark (Feral Astrogators)
author: Athena Andreadis Ph.D.
description: Andreadis&apos;s extraordinary follow-up to <i>The Other Half of the Sky</i> dazzles with 15 SF stories about respected and daring women scientists in their fields. Celebrating scientific discovery, the imaginative stories feature diverse cultures, intriguing settings, and intelligent plots. /.../ This collection will remind readers why they love science fiction as it celebrates scientists and science in deeply meaningful stories full of well-realized characters. - <b>Publishers Weekly</b> (starred review)<br /><br />Most of all, these stories make the reader <i>think</i>. They challenge us to question some cherished conventions of the field (the lone scientist removed from the world, the Frankenstein and Prometheus narratives, pessimism about science and its products). They turn familiar situations on their heads (resurrected dinosaurs, philosophical cetaceans, alien invasion, parallel worlds). There&apos;s not a bad story in this bunch. /.../ If you like well-told, intelligent science fiction that respects the search for knowledge, you can&apos;t afford to miss this one. - <b>Analog SF</b><br /><br />&quot;...Andreadis has not just created a worthy successor to her first anthology: she has surpassed it. /.../ In <i>To Shape the Dark</i>, Andreadis gives us fifteen stories in which both women and science--real science--are the heroes. I seldom read an anthology with more than one or two really good stories in it. /.../ Here, every single one is not just good, but stellar.&quot; - <b>Strange Horizons</b>
