A Small Box of Chaos
There are cameras at every turn, smart buildings that know all about you, virtual realities that overcome real ones. And there is instant access to all of it through a computer the size of a credit card. The year is 2040 and constant monitoring is the price you pay for being connected. But can you get away with murder in such a world? That is the problem facing data maven and control freak Aldo Weeks when a single lapse in judgment plunges him into unknown terrain. First there is a midnight tryst with an exotic redhead. Then a murderous duet with a madman. As he tries to outwit the vast net of information, he encounters a strange puzzle box at the center of the whole affair, a box of chaos that might just hold the key to how complexity rules the universe.
Stories at the Edge of Time
A family on the last starship finds that stories themselves may very well save a dying world. A man finds a new lease on life in an ancient dingus. A phone that can be used to call a few minutes into the future leads to unexpected turmoil. An anthroid on trial for a murder may be the victim of a faulty linguistic circuit. A retired astronaut who cannot get his footing, the last librarian on earth, tales of longing spacefarers, and a mathematician whose brilliant insight continually slips his mind. These are just a few of the themes to be found in this collection of mystery science fiction tales in the speculative tradition from the author of MazelTales: A Family Album, A Small Box of Chaos, and the award-winning An Interlude in Dreamland.

The Robbins

For all the broken families, junkies and even lowkey gangsters, surely this place has nothing going on that doesn't happen anywhere else, does it? “So there are more timelines. Is that bad?” “Catastrophic! Or… inconsequential. Hard to tell.” “Doc!” “It means one of two things; we are creating different timeless… or perhaps will always find ourselves in ti...
