Critic reviews

“This intriguing collection of short speculative fictions features a superb ensemble of narrators…. Of particular note is P.J. Morgan's carefully paced delivery of "The Long Game," in which a sentient slug-like creature is on a mission to preserve their life. Kay Eluvian's gentle narration in "Slow Time Between the Stars" captures a serene AI spaceship that is on a timeless journey to introduce humanity to the next Earth-like planet.”AudioFile Magazine

I enjoyed these short glimpses

I already like Anne Leckie and Nnedi Okorafor . And in both their stories I could feel a relationship to some of their previous writings. For instance Okarafors Binti, which is lovely and well worth buying it on audible. (one of the best) has a resonance with the organic ship theme, found also in her story here. Also I confess to having fallen in love with the rhythm and sounds of the Nigerian voice of the reader. A collection that though sometimes familiar in theme, does provoke the mind into wondering....just wondering, and altered perspectives and about life's mystery generally.
I recommend it.
