Book Reviews of Beyond Armageddon
Book Review: Not Free SF Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
From the depths of the Cold War, an anthology of stories of what happens after a 'Megawar', generally nuclear, and of varying degrees.
Miller is pretty pessimistic in outlook in this, not surprising at the time this was published when you had idiot presidents making stupid jokes, etc.
Even going so far as saying, hope everyone gets nukes, might actually encourage major power disarmament.
There's an intro by the editor to each story, talking about the particular type of scenario that is going on.
A pretty good book, with a 3.60 story average.

"To make a long story short and sweet, I gave the network the royal screw. I signed the Horsemen to a contract that made me their manager and gave me twenty percent of their take. Then I booked them into the American Dream at ten thousand a week, wrote a check as proprietor of the American Dream, handed the check to myself as manager of the Four Horsemen, then resigned as a network flunky, leaving them with a $10,000 bag and me with 20% of the hottest group since the Beatles.
What the hell, he who lives by the fine print shall perish by the fine print."

Summary of Beyond Armageddon
In Beyond Armageddon, the distinguished science fiction writer Walter M. Miller Jr. (1923?96) and the famed anthologist Martin H. Greenberg have together collected stories that address one of the most challenging themes of imaginative fiction: the nature of life after nuclear war. The twenty-one stories in this collection, by masters such as Arthur C. Clarke, Poul Anderson, Ray Bradbury, J. G. Ballard, Robert Sheckley, Roger Zelazny, and Harlan Ellison, explore a variety of possibilities of ?life after.? These richly imagined stories offer glimpses into a future no reader will soon forget. Miller?s incisive introduction and a thought-provoking and irreverent commentary are included. New to this Bison Books edition is a postscript to the introduction provided by Martin H. Greenberg.
