Description

Time travel. Humanity has long imagined what it would be like to be able to create a time machine, what we might see if we could travel into the future, or be transported to the distant past. And what if it were possible to travel into our own, more recent past? Would we be able to change our present, or are we prisoners of predestination? Is fate what we make of it?

In this latest title in the acclaimed 'Future Chronicles' series of speculative fiction anthologies, fourteen authors confront the question of time travel and its consequences, exploring a landscape where past, present and future all become imaginable destinations.

"The Time Travel Chronicles" features stories by science fiction grandmaster Robert J. Sawyer (Calculating God), Amazon bestselling author Rysa Walker (the Chronos series), Best American Science Fiction notable Samuel Peralta (Faith), plus eleven more of today's top authors in speculative and science fiction.

Featured Reviews

A superior and varied collection of stories, all featuring time travel. Some are funny in sort of a twisted way, others are sweet or curious or just plain good tales. Not a loser in the bunch. Highly recommended.

Fantastic time-travel anthology

The producer of this anthology, Samuel Peralta is to be congratulated on a job well done. All 14 stories were great. The ones I liked the best were “The Traveller” by Stefan Bolz, “Eighty-three” by Erik Wecks; “Shades” by Lucas Bale, “The Meddler” by Ernie Luis, “The Red Mustang” by Michael Holden, and “Hereafter” by Samuel Peralta. I was concerned that having an anthology on one subject could be boring. I was very wrong; the stories are all so different from each other that the book held my interest from cover to cover. I strongly recommend this book to all genre readers.

I love time travel books - generally speaking though, I am not a fan of short stories (as those of you who've read my reviews before know)... Still, I have a very hard time resisting new time travel in any form, particularly when the book in question includes an author I love (Robert J. Sawyer). I was familiar with a few of the other authors too, so thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did, although I'm still not in love with the short story as a vehicle for storytelling... And ironically, the Sawyer story was one of my least favorites - it was darker than I like, in the tone of his latest longer works, as opposed to the more strictly sci-fi flavor of his earlier stories. Beyond his story, which was truly original and offered a spin I haven't seen before on the "use" for time travel (and that's saying something, I read nearly everything I can find on the topic!), there were some other novel takes on the time travel trope in this collection that I really enjoyed - particularly the opening story (Extant), Beasts of the Earth, Eighty-Three, and Red Mustang. Overall it's a strong collection and introduced me to a few new authors I'm going to be checking out in their longer forms...
