In Fractured Earth
the Actuator split the world into different realities. A few people are trying
to get the Keys that the Machine Monks created when they activated the
Actuator. They need the Keys in order to restore the world to the original
reality. The task seems insurmountable, but they have to try.
Borderlands gives a peek at some of the other
realities and the people who inhabit them. 16 short stories tell of what’s
going on in various parts of the world since the accident that changed
everything.
Remembering Emily by Sara Wolf ~ Love really is a
powerful emotion.
Stolen Orchid by Matthew Cox ~ Very Sci-Fi.
The Blackbird’s Tale by Dan Willis ~ Not a big fan of
noir, but this is pretty good.
The Dream Journal by Nathan Yocum ~ I couldn’t make
sense of this one.
The Austenation by Mara Valderran ~ A mixing of
the literary world. Not bad.
Escape by Patrick Burdine ~ Creepy
and…creepy. But good.
The Ritual by Whitney Trang ~ Another horror
realm.
The Gatekeepers of Change by James Pratt ~ This reminds me
of the show Supernatural and one of
my favorite guest stars. I’m not saying who though.
The Ringer by Craig Nybo ~ I like detective
stories especially when mixed with paranormal. Clever.
Anna and Lena by Jason Purdy ~ Wow. This is
grim. And sad.
Once Upon a Frozen North by Jason Persson ~ Who doesn’t
like Vikings?
Halfway by Jay Wilburn ~ Eeeep! Horror
fans need to read this one.
The Search for Punarnav by Juhi ~ Hindu mythology made
real. I love mythology but having it real is a bit too scary an image for me.
15 Seconds of Fame by Jason A. Anderson ~ Another
detective story. I mentioned I like those, right?
Forever Young by Wilbert Stanton ~ Interesting
concept.
Cult of the Actuation by James Wymore ~ Ah! The
aftermath of book 1 with Red and Dragon Star. Likey likey!
