The New Britomart — Eluki Bes Shahar

Here they come, and they're out for blood. For too long, they say, have hot blooded babes in brass bras and chain-link bikinis been held up to scorn as the embodiment of male fantasy wish-fulfillment and non-functionality. You think their swords won't cut, their clubs won't crush? You think they look cute?

You can't run, 'cause they're faster than you, and you better not fight, 'cause they're tougher -- and they have no mercy. Here they come, Chicks in Chainmail, and they're going to get you.

All new stories by Elizabeth Moon (exploring the truth behind the legend of the Brass Bra), Friesner herself, Jody Lynn Nye, Harry Turtledove, Margaret Ball, and other top names in the business....

Publisher's Note: The Publisher wishes it known that the title for this volume was chosen by the editor and not by him. As a sensitive New Age Guy in good standing it would simply never occur to him to propose such a title, and he was shocked -- shocked -- that it did to others.
