   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) beentsy | Aug 12, 2023 |   ) justgeekingby | Jun 6, 2023 | Susan Kay Quinn's "Corrections" is a real standout here; the others range from ~meh to pretty good. ( ) LyndaInOregon | Dec 14, 2018 | I suspect if you like Hugh Howey’s Wool series, you’ll like this, because I recognise several of these authors as ones who have written in the Wool universe (via the Kindle Worlds publish your fan-fic program). Despite my feelings about Amazon opening that can of P2P worms, there is definitely some good writing going on both there, and in this anthology. This one is often free so as a sampler of indie sci-fi authors, it definitely works for that purpose. I rated each story individually, which gave an average overall of a little over 3. But there are always a few stories in every anthology that every reader feels could have been left out, and for me those were offset by two stories I felt were quite spectacular.Longer review and per-story comments @ Booklikes ( ) krazykiwi | Aug 22, 2016 |  ) Amelia_Smith | May 2, 2015 | no reviews | add a review
Synchronic: 13 Tales of Time Travel introduces 13 varied and original takes on the pitfalls and paradoxes of time travel-from some of today's most talented voices. From Michael Bunker's story of a father, a son, and the legendary Santa Anna Gold, to Jason Gurley's heart-wrenching tale of an astronaut forever torn from his young wife and daughter, these stories will keep you on the edge of your seat, and often have you guessing right up until the final word. You'll meet a prison therapist who treats his patients by going back and preventing their crimes; a woman who can't stop reliving her life, no matter how much it hurts; a space marine suffering from a time-altering brain injury; a woman who will betray the man she loves to correct a horrible mistake; a vengeful soul from ages past; and a time cop charged with preserving the timelines of multiple universes.You'll experience a world where time travel is so common, reality itself hangs by a thread; a love story that overcomes the unforgiving barriers of time; a thrilling encounter with a pack of T. rex; a historian's efforts to alter Roman history; and the first manned mission to the Red Planet-or is it? So sit back and enjoy. Just be sure you've got plenty of time. No library descriptions found. |
