An incendiary mixture of genres and voices, this collection of short stories compiles a unique set of work that revolves around riots, revolts, and revolution.

Reviews
Send My Love and a Molotov Cocktail! will interest readers of both the science fiction and mystery genres. Editors Gary Phillips and Andrea Gibbons have put together an interesting mix of pulp, hard-boiled and noirish mysteries along with several science fiction stories, many with a decidedly political bent. --www.SFRevu.com
The stories in Send My Love may riff on radical and revolutionary themes, but they are more entertaining than instructive. --Briarpatch Magazine
The 18 mostly original stories in this thought-provoking crime anthology offer gritty testament to the violence, cunning, and resilience of people pushed to the brink. --Publishers Weekly (November 27, 2011)
There are some real gems between its covers. Major names from not only the crime beat, but also the sci-fi and fantasy genres, make worthwhile contributions to the set, including names like Cory Doctorow, Sara Paretsky, and Kim Stanley Robinson. --San Francisco Book Review (April 2012)
