Titles By Samuel Peralta
Its companion series – Alt.Chronicles, The Illustrated Chronicles and Chronicle Worlds – are similarly ground-breaking in their coverage of less mainstream tropes such as alternative history and shared universes.
Created by award-winning author Samuel Peralta, and edited by some of the most-respected editors in the genre, each volume brings together work from visionary new voices and from the grandmasters of modern science fiction and fantasy.
This Future Chronicles Special Edition volume is a compendium of stories selected from the Chronicles’ standalone titles, and includes five new stories, never before published, from some of today’s best writers in speculative fiction.
In Alt.History 101, thirteen top speculative fiction authors re-imagine the world - as one where the inventor of the smallpox vaccine died before he'd created it, as one where the women's suffragist movement failed to win the right to vote, as one where the death penalty exists but where all forms of capital punishment are ruled inhumane - and ten other compelling stories charting the histories of these worlds.
Enter worlds so much like our own, yet so different - where everything you know... is history.
A soldier trapped in an endless war dies over and over, only to be awakened each time to fight again - one of the last remaining few seeking to save mankind from extinction. An RAF radio engineer in an abandoned military installation, who begins to suffer hallucinations, shifts in time and memories that are not his own. A colonial space explorer, sent alone to determine a planet's suitability for human colonization, who stumbles across a woman who is part of the same program but shouldn't be there at all. An assassin from the future, stranded when he fails in his mission, who knows he will soon cease to exist.
In this title in the acclaimed Future Chronicles series of speculative fiction anthologies, Amazon Breakthrough Novel finalist Michael Patrick Hicks and USA Today bestselling author Samuel Peralta join with some of the most exciting new voices in speculative fiction explore the mental, physical and metaphysical boundaries that imprison us when we are lost.
