Liberating Earth was the third Faction Paradox anthology. It was edited by Kate Orman and published by Obverse Books in 2015.
Publisher's summary[]
- The human race had every opportunity. We blew it, darling.
Take two Cousins from Faction Paradox.
Give them a world – the Earth, for example – and give them the power to change that world's history as they see fit.
Then stand back and watch what happens…
Just what would happen if a couple of Cousins used our planet as their personal game board? As they create one alternative reality after another, twisting history and reality into knots, only one outcome is sure: whoever wins, the human race loses.
Individual stories[]
Notes[]
- This anthology notably featured only female writers.[1]
- The title is a reference to William Tenn's 1953 short story The Liberation of Earth, where two warring alien species took turns "liberating" planet Earth from each other until the planet was wrecked.[2] In the anthology, Tefen and Triphis similarly take turns altering Earth's history, changing the patterns of conquest and colonisation beyond recognition.
