A Note From the Publisher
The Actuator, a machine capable of literally changing reality, was created to make a
utopian paradise. Before it happened, a saboteur used it to transform the world into patches of
every kind of genre fiction, scattering the keys necessary to put it back across the globe.
Everyone alive found their lives radically altered, some living in fantasy realms with real magic
and others in incomprehensible horrors. Thrown into chaos, people struggled against aliens,
pirates, orcs, and vampires. Many died. Only a handful of people on the planet, called Machine
Monks, even knew why it happened or how. Now they have to put it all back before humanity is
destroyed.

Featured Reviews
Chaos Chronicles (The Actuator #3) by James Wymore, Dan Willis, Matthew S. Cox, Bob Defendi, Lorna Marie Larson, D.J. Butler, C.M. Spivey, and Patrick Burdine is a collection of fine sci-fi! There is not a bad story in the bunch. My favorites are Eyes in the Void by Dan Willis, which I hope will be a full novel because it is soooo good! Another of my favorites is Safari by Lorni Marie Larson and boy what a safari that turned out to be. Last but not least was Battle Mountain by James Wymore which had lots of twist and turns. I loved all the stories so it was hard to pick a favorite that is why I have so many on this review! All were my favorites! A great book and I was not disappointed with this great novel and the high class of authors. I bought Actuator 1 now so I am going to read it. I was granted the privilege to read this book from NetGalley and I am so thankful.
Someone had the bright idea to create a machine (The Actuator) that would change a region to work by the rules of a particular literary genre (think science fiction, horror, zombie apocalypse, etc.) as defined by particular people. Of course they had to play with this, but then someone sabotaged the Actuator so that it affected the world, dividing it into regions. The parties responsible for this mess (The Machine Monks) are seeking the needed keys to the regions so that they can shut them down and restore "normalcy," whatever that may be. Chaos Chronicles is a collection of short stories set in this world by a variety of authors. There is a heist story, a mashup tale of an elf that wanders into the Old West and is sent on a quest accompanied by a superheroine, a vampire, and a steam-punk wizard, a honeymoon gone very wrong in South Africa with animals turned into talking dinos. Of course there is the obligatory Arthur tale and a zombie apocalypse fitted in beside a flying saucer tale. In other words, plenty of genres to enjoy. So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation?
