There's a lot to love about this collection. First, the concept of three anthologies that look at the apocalypse from before, during, and after is bold. And I gotta say I'm looking forward to the next two installments, to see how some of these concepts are grown. I listened to the audiobook, and the production was top notch. For free podcast samples, pop over to EscapePod.org and listen to "Enjoy the Moment" and Drabblecast.org for "Heaven is a Place on Planet X". 
 I was pleasantly (?) surprised at the variety of apocalyptic visions for our world. While the killer asteroid was the most represented, it was nowhere close to the preponderance. I think the only thing I can think of in the popular consciousness that didn't make it was the collapse of the food system through the death of pollinators. We even got a zombie story ("Agent Unknown"), although the fungus one ("Spores") was even more effective body horror than zombies ever could. There are so many I could talk about (like Bachigalupi's return to the world of The Tamarisk Hunter) but I'm going to restrict myself to the ones that made the deepest craters in my psyche. 
 The two narrations that really blew me away were Laurice White reading "Removal Order" and Tina Connolly reading "Goodnight Moon". Both performances really delivered pathos and made the individual tragedies of the characters all the more impactful. 
 I thought the opening of the collection with "The Balm and the Wound" was great. It felt a lot like a cultier version of Hensley's "Lord Randy, My Son" which is one of my favorite Dangerous Visions. The other cult story's noir tone ("She's Got a Ticket to Ride") really set it apart, while subverting the style by having the brooding hero be rescued by the damsel in distress. 
 Probably the most subtle of the stories is the soft apocalypse in Nancy Kress's "Pretty Soon the Four Horsemen are Going to Come Riding Through". I've picked up her novel Beggars in Spain and I can see a similar nod to the themes set there. This is probably the one story I'm most looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
