About this listen

21 original stories of Dangerous Women by top genre writers, brought together in a new anthology edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois.

Intrepid warriors, far-ranging spacewomen, formidable superheroines, hard-living Bad Girls, embattled survivors, private investigators, seductive femmes fatale and haughty queens; as Gardner Dubois writes in his introduction, 'if you want to tie any of these women to the railway tracks, you'll have a real fight on your hands!'

This thrilling collection features both standalone tales and familiar worlds and characters, including Joe Abercrombie's Red Country backdrop; Jim Butcher's world of Harry Dresden; Lev Grossman's Magicians; Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series; and a story by Caroline Spector in the Wild Cards shared universe.

Return to Westoros in The Princess and the Queen, a new novella from George R. R. Martin about the Dance of Dragons, a bitter civil war that divided the kingdom nearly two centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones.

Some of the stories in this book are seriously disturbing. Some of the stories have a very tenuous link to the theme "Dangerous Women." There were only a few stories I actually liked which was disappointing.

Not what I expected

Any single story from this anthology is worth the price, A Dance of Dragons especially!

Many for the price of one!

I work long hours in a repetitive job to kill the monotony I listen to Books while working this collection of short stories drove me nuts there was only 3 I enjoyed in the whole 30+ hours of listening I am sure it will appeal to some but it didn't float my boat at all .

Possible that this is the worst series ever
