Well, this book was a lot of fun! Science Fiction short stories are one of my favorite genres, and this didn't disappoint. The stories here are a quick light read, definitely not deep dark sci-fi (which I also enjoy), but are well-executed and thought-provoking. I think my favorites were Dead to Rights and Children of Earth, but they were all a lot of fun.

A collection of short stories with alternate time lines, time travel, robots, and other themes. I found them to be fun to read and will likely read again in the future.

Lots of Good Stories
Just like the first book Dandelion Seeds, this is a collection of short stories. Some stories share universes with other stories in this book as well as those in the first book. A couple I’d love to see expanded into novels. Enjoy.
