In this title in the acclaimed 'Future Chronicles' series of speculative fiction anthologies created by award-winning author Samuel Peralta, discover tales of dark futures, tragic pasts, and a present that’s run off the rails are presented in landscapes as varied as their authors’ imaginations.
Set in bestselling worlds fully realized by their authors, these stories unfold as seen through the eyes of animals — tamed and feral, domestic and savage — as they traverse a world of perdition where often their capacity for nobility and self-sacrifice transcends our own.
Enter these worlds with some of the most inventive authors writing today, including USA Today bestselling authors David Adams and Cheri Lasota, Wall Street Journal bestselling authors Daniel Arthur Smith and Ann Christy, and Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award winner Rysa Walker.
Dystopian deserts, post-apocalyptic mountain ranges, the medieval English countryside, the far reaches of the galaxy - in each of these and more, animals and their human companions discover heart-stopping adventure among the ruins - and you will, too.
Discover 'Chronicle Worlds'. Discover 'Tails of Dystopia'.

About the authors
Samuel Peralta's work has hit the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestsellers lists, and been shortlisted for Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy. His award-winning poetry has been spotlighted by the BBC and Best American Poetry. His 'Future Chronicles' anthologies were all #1 bestsellers on Amazon, as was the recently released collection of his own work, 'Memory's Children'.
Physicist, entrepreneur, storyteller - he's designed nuclear robotic tools, built solar plants, and founded companies in optoelectronics, mobile software, and artificial intelligence. He's a producer of independent film, including Golden Globe nominee 'The Fencer' and Emmy Award winner 'Real Artists'. And he cooks a mean risotto.
Roberto Calas is an author and lover of history. His serial trilogy (The Scourge) is about a 14th century knight fighting his way through a demon-infested England to reunite with the woman he loves. And every bit of it is true except for the made up parts.
In addition to The Scourge series, Roberto has written The Beast of Maug Maurai (fantasy), and Kingdom of Glass (historical fiction in the Foreworld universe). He lives in Sandy Hook, Connecticut with his two children.
Roberto is represented by Byrd Leavell, of Waxman Leavell.

Some of the stories are written from the point of view of an animal; some are written third-person with a focus on the animal, and still others have a human POV but the 'stars' of the story are the animal partners. Like "Tails of the Apocalypse", many of the stories come with high emotion -- often pathos -- to be expected from the dystopian focus, but there are uplifting moments nonetheless. The anthology opens with strength -- Harlow C. Fallon's "The Ones Who Walk Beside You" will get you started properly with Joe, his unusual gift and his friends the wolf and the horse; you won't want to stop reading after that. John L. Monk's "Monkey Do", starring Max the chimp, illustrates what can happen when all the human adults have died, but there remains a well-trained animal with dignity and dedication. Rysa Walker's dog Daphne has to sort out the incredibly confusing conflicting timelines and help save her pack from "The Circle-That-Whines". Ann Christy's "The Last Pride" shows that there are places in the animal kingdom for her PePrs as they help keep endangered species alive while fitting in. Jennifer Ellis' "Cry Wolf" shows how it is not only humans who see conflict in following orders while trying to do the right thing. Justin Sloan's "The Last Bobcat" is better than the humans he helps survive. Daniel Arthur Smith's "Eggby" lives for his master's treats, but has to avoid becoming one himself. Robert Calas' "The Weight of Hunger" is the darkest of the selections, IMHO; the kestrel falcon Eglantine must survive while not becoming one of "them". David Adams' "Khan" shows how a white tiger can fight for freedom even on another planet. Cheri Lasota's beautiful "Planetfall" reveals how a little dog makes a big difference on New Eden. E. E. Giorgi's Destiny and her pet weasel find the mysterious object that can change everything in "Octant VI". Hank Garner's young autistic Jackson looks for his folks and dog as the world is shaken beyond belief, but he has the help of a mysterious stranger because "He Knows the Way Home." Finally, David Bruns' "The Water Finder's Apprentice" finds more than water but needs the help of his canine sidekick to prevail.
I received an advance copy for an honest review, but I bought a copy to support the book.
Highly Recommended. Plus, by buying a copy you are also helping our Veterans!
So far I have just had an opportunity to read an ARC copy of Justin Sloan's bobcat story. It is a fun story from an unusual standpoint with all the action you'd expect from the writer. It ties in to some of his other books in a fun way, but it is written to be a standalone.
I purchased the collection, and I look forward to reading the rest of the stories.
