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.
 Walter M. Miller, Jr., is the author of the seminal novel about a post-Holocaust world, A Canticle for Liebowitz, for which he won a Hugo Award. The award-winning anthologist Martin H. Greenberg is responsible for more than two hundred classic science fiction collections, including The Best Time Travel Stories of the Twentieth Century, with Harry Turtledove.
“In these troubled times, the University of Nebraska Press has rendered a great service in reprinting this 1985 anthology of life in the aftermath of cataclysmic (usually nuclear) war. . . . Walter M. Miller, Jr. came out of self-imposed retirement long enough to put together this extraordinary volume. . . . . One of the most compelling anthologies of short fiction, post-holocaust SF or otherwise, ever assembled.”—Home Planet News
