I first saw this advertised in a Facebook group and was incredibly skeptical. I'm usually not a fan of collections of short stories.But this one really blew me away. The authors featured in this collection are incredibly talented. They don't rely on cheap genre tricks to get you through the story. The stories told are short, but they're powerful.

This book is filled with a great set of out of the box stories. To start off 'How to Make a Human' by Martin Rose is an excellent story of robots try to resurrect humanity. This is followed by one of my favorite authors John F.D. Taff, his story 'Angie' is a great survival story in the apocalypse. The book just keeps getting better with the contribution of William Meikle and his tale 'On the Threshold'. Its a great science experiment gone wrong, of course it is, what else would it be.
