The Time Travel Chronicles

A superior and varied collection of stories, all featuring time travel. Some are funny in sort of a twisted way, others are sweet or curious or just plain good tales. Not a loser in the bunch. Highly recommended.

Fantastic time-travel anthology

The producer of this anthology, Samuel Peralta is to be congratulated on a job well done. All 14 stories were great. The ones I liked the best were “The Traveller” by Stefan Bolz, “Eighty-three” by Erik Wecks; “Shades” by Lucas Bale, “The Meddler” by Ernie Luis, “The Red Mustang” by Michael Holden, and “Hereafter” by Samuel Peralta. I was concerned that having an anthology on one subject could be boring. I was very wrong; the stories are all so different from each other that the book held my interest from cover to cover. I strongly recommend this book to all genre readers.

Time travel is at the top of my list for genres and this book was like candy!

This is a great anthology that I highly recommend. Great authors contributed their stories. Recommending this book for purchase.

I’ve been turned off by these short story anthologies in the past but simply could not turn down one devoted entirely to time travel. I was a bit skeptical if this would be something I’d enjoy, even if it was my favorite topic. I’m happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did I really enjoy most of the stories I’ve found a number of new authors I really want to check out in the future. Many of these were prequels to other writing or a taste of that authors writing style. While not every story was my cup of tea a vast majority were amazing. I also got to see time travel portrayed in a number of ways that I hadn’t previously considered which was very exciting. If you love time travel as much as I do and want to try out some new authors without committing to an entire book or series this is a perfect choice. The best part is that this book is currently only 99 Cents on Amazon and is also available through kindle unlimited along with others in the Future Chronicles series.

I love time travel books - generally speaking though, I am not a fan of short stories (as those of you who've read my reviews before know)... Still, I have a very hard time resisting new time travel in any form, particularly when the book in question includes an author I love (Robert J. Sawyer). I was familiar with a few of the other authors too, so thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did, although I'm still not in love with the short story as a vehicle for storytelling... And ironically, the Sawyer story was one of my least favorites - it was darker than I like, in the tone of his latest longer works, as opposed to the more strictly sci-fi flavor of his earlier stories. Beyond his story, which was truly original and offered a spin I haven't seen before on the "use" for time travel (and that's saying something, I read nearly everything I can find on the topic!), there were some other novel takes on the time travel trope in this collection that I really enjoyed - particularly the opening story (Extant), Beasts of the Earth, Eighty-Three, and Red Mustang. Overall it's a strong collection and introduced me to a few new authors I'm going to be checking out in their longer forms...
