Time Streams

by Dean Wesley Smith (Editor), Kristine Kathryn Rusch (Series Editor)

Time-travel stories open the entire world and all of time to writers’ imaginations. The fifteen writers in this third original anthology in the Fiction River line explore everything from Chicago gangsters to Japanese tsunamis, and travel from 2013 to the nineteenth century to a vast future. Featuring work from award winners to bestsellers to a few newcomers whose time will come, Time Streams turns the time-travel genre on its head.

Fiction River is an original fiction anthology series. Modeled on successful anthology series of the past, from Orbit to Universe to Pulphouse: The Hardback Magazine, the goal of Fiction River is to provide a forum for “original ground-breaking fiction of all genres.”
Each Fiction River volume will have electronic and trade paperback issues published by WMG Publishing, and will feature some of the best new and established fiction writers in publishing.

Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch are award-winning editors, as well as award-winning writers, and will act as series editors for the anthologies.

Loving the whole Fiction River series!

[John Devenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm a sucker for time travel stories and this anthology, the third in the Fiction River series, contains some excellent examples. Features some of the best known authors in the genre like Mike Resnick, Dean Wesley Smith and the always wonderful Kristine Kathryn Rusch as well as some very interesting work by newer and lesser known writers.
This series keeps getting better and better.

[Kirsten · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was not exactly approaching a whole collection of time travel stories with relish; time travel as a trope is very hit-or-miss for me, and stories of that nature often get obsessed with being puzzles instead of stories, as such. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised when almost every story in this collection was a winner! Good stuff.

Another solid and engaging volume of Fiction River, very much worth your time if you like strange stories that don't fit any particular genre, all of which feature time travel of some sort. Ecclectic and entertaining.
