Lists with This Book. Oct 12, Melissa rated it really liked it Shelves: I am not a space stories lover. But I have an open mind, so when I had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review, I took it. I'm glad I did. I discovered a new genre. I may not have liked all the stories, but that's the beauty of short stories from multiple authors: Sep 28, Melissa Hayden rated it liked it Shelves: A book full of wormhole stories.

Each is different in the worlds they create and characters that interact. There is a story here for everyone. The rating is an over all as a whole. There are stories for everyone and some that may not fit you, that's how I rated the book. After each story is a quick interview with the author. One question is on where they got the spark of an idea for the story. Nice to meet the authors this way in the book. Especially if they are new to you. Working to learn more of the worlds and the wormhole from the other side, the wormhole starts to fade.

Will they make it out in time? This story feels relatable to what we have in the way of technology now, not like Star Trek or super advanced technologies. Which makes it easy to understand and visualize things. The story was good. I liked that we also got to see years later. This future vision gave the story the feel of conclusion.

Explorations: Through the Wormhole by Ralph Kern

Through Glassy Eyes by P. Corcoran Professor Chris Kane is working back on Earth, after the wormhole closed. He's made a great discovery that could rocket human and machine interface into existence. This story gives us a glimpse of over two years of meetings with Chris on his creation and launch of Wetware.

And there is a complication in the end. This was a good story but not what I expected in this book, especially with the title. I had thought all stories would be about space and adventures on the other side of the wormhole. This one was not about going through a wormhole. It's only connection was to the first story, and the wormhole closing on the Earth side, then it dove into a story on human technology that's the next evolution in human and machine interfacing. It's a one way mission, to fire the item into Khonsu, the wormhole, to keep it stable and from closing.

I really liked this one.

The beginning caught my attention, though the transition to memory felt unclear until after I read it. Where Aliza ends up feels like a science fiction fantasy story. And was something I totally enjoyed! In a wide rounded way it felt as a reminder of Alice in Wonderland. AI Deniers by Rosie Oliver Melrika headed out into space to fix the droid, but upon touching it found herself in the future and a different part of space. Through an unknown wormhole she had gone.

When Melrika is found and brought back to the world she learns she's rich, and many want her money. People will work for her or kidnap her for it. But the wildest thing is the way of the world now. She recovers in the hospital then sent to a recovery center to gradually bring her into the world of technology and living now. Things have drastically changed since her time.

The recovery center had me thinking of a rotating stage of eras she would move through to gradually get use to the technology as it expands. Though some people never move past certain years.

While in the hospital and at her recovery center she sees snipits of the news, which we get to read, on the Al Denier. There is a reason she has so much money, and why someone attempts to kidnap her. That we learn in the end. I felt like there was a lot to this story and world and this short format was too compact with information. To much in one place. They expected to only be 20, light years from Earth when entered the wormhole. The mission, find a planet suitable to sustain human habitation.

Oh how easily someone's views and ideas start to sway from the path with events and options before them. I really liked this take on this story. Captain Stonehaven is on a peace mission, but becomes the policing of peace in space when he hears of a bullying race. But could he become the bully with his reactions? I liked this stories format. We have movement and reason to the characters, and a dilemma to get through. The type of technology here reminds me of the Star Trek feel, which I do enjoy. Captain Hale plans to not get caught. He has a passenger who's paid him to jump.

Captain Hale's ship is pulled further than expected, to discover the key to the wormholes.

Off the bat I enjoyed Ears and Captain Hale's chatting, more banter. Even Kenzie and Lincoln too! There was great chemistry with the characters on this ship. The technology and connection between tech in body and the ship and how it works is a cool addition that makes this story and plot. I was left wondering, what if Earth was the colony The Aeon Incident by Richard Fox Lyon and his crew are sent through the wormhole to inspect the observation shuttle that was watching over Aeon, and now are all dead.

What happened from a race that's not far into technology yet can get to a shuttle? This is sort of like a little mystery and action story. Lyon finds the doctor from the station is alive and held captive. He's determined to get the doctor back, and find out what happened here. I liked the story. Lyon acts differently than expected in a crucial moment, but it seems to work!

A new wormhole opens. But it's different, one way in, two ways out. Coulter volunteered for this mission. This story has a mythical feel to the reasoning for going through the wormhole. What they find on the other side explains, as does the passenger from Trinity College in Dublin. To save those left on Earth. This felt like a fast read.

There is a reason to the wormhole and something more to the world than some expected. Dead Weight by Thaddeus White Guan will not surrender his ship. Even though they are damaged and limping along, he finds a way to make it to the wormhole and escape. But when he comes out on the other side, the ship is in need of desperate repairs. They have to stop to fix it, and may not have enough supplies for all aboard. We start in with action.

The crew interact under stress and personalities shine. I like the daring and determined action, but in being this there are deadly consequences too. It's a story that kept me reading. It seems there could be someone on the ship killing people, so they can survive longer Webbed Prisms by Charlie Pulsipher T'en has powers he shouldn't with being of a slave stature. But he sees the ripples of the Nexus from his world, and watches it nightly. After 19 years of applications at Omniscient, AJ's dream of working with wormholes comes true. His synthetic arm making the job a bit easier as he's already wired to the interface of Omniscient's technology.

Kendra works with AJ and create a strong bond together. This is a bit different in how AJ is able to travel into space. And he has a bit of a different way in which he works "with" the wormhole, like going through it. This is a blend of computer science fiction tech and wormholes. We get this story from two sides of the wormhole, AJ and T'en.

We see where AJ and Kendra are coming from and where they are going. Anathema by Jacob Cooper A supply run through the wormhole. Through the wormhole, to the station, then home. However when they come through there is debris everywhere and hitting their ship.

Guild Master Cinnamon

This story has many elements to it. We have haulers coming through behind Everson's ship that need protected from the floating debris. Then we get a signal that they need to investigate. But we also have some elements that feel supernatural in a sense, though it's done by technology. One example is the elemental, he's of science fiction creation but has a paranormal feel to him. Even the Captains "knowing".

The characters all feel like a crew. Unfortunately, there are too many distracting editing [? The book would benefit from a much An ambitious and interesting book. The book would benefit from a much closer proof-reading before it goes into another edition. But, hey, I'll probably read Book II to see what happens to Daphne on the other side of the wormhole.

Is there a Book III? I really love the main character. I think she's got a lot of spirit. Because this is the first book in the series, you're only getting a small taste of the new world I have created. I personally feel that the story and the characters will draw you in and leave you hanging on the edge of your seat to find out what happens next. As the author I always feel there is room for improvement which is why I didn't give myself 5 stars.
