A review by oleksandr
The End Has Come by John Joseph Adams, Hugh Howey
3.0
This is the third, final volume of THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH and it finally describes worlds after their end, thus it can be seen as the only one ‘real’ representative of post-apocalyptic fiction in the trilogy. Most of the stories are to some extent are continuations/endings for the ones from the previous volumes, so while the book can be read as a stand-alone anthology, it is greatly preferred to be read in sequence from the first book onward.
Just like with the previous volumes, there are some pretty good stories and some of so-so category. My personal favorites are:
• BANNERLESS Carrie Vaughn
• DANCING WITH A STRANGER IN THE LAND OF NOD Will McIntosh
• PROTOTYPE Sarah Langan
• CARRIERS Tananarive Due
• IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF THE PROMISED LAND Robin Wasserman
• JINGO AND THE HAMMERMAN Jonathan Mabery
• THE GODS HAVE NOT DIED IN VAIN Ken Liu
Overall I liked the book a bit less than the previous volumes, but maybe I am just tired of all the gloom.
