Liberating Earth was the third Faction Paradox anthology. The anthology had material by Kate Orman between its stories which linked them to form an overall narrative.
Publisher's summary
- “The human race had every opportunity. We blew it, darling
Take two Cousins from Faction Paradox.
Give them a world – the Earth, for example – and give them the power to change that world's history as they see fit.
Then stand back and watch what happens…
Just what would happen if a couple of Cousins used our planet as their personal game board? As they create one alternative reality after another, twisting history and reality into knots, only one outcome is sure: whoever wins, the human race loses.”
Individual stories
