Our yearly all subgenre Science Fiction anthology returns with more quick tales to give you a break from your reality. Join these 14 amazing authors from around the world as they take you on adventures with racecar champions competing against AI, ancient alien technology, genetically modified dogs, and old men arguing with caregiver robots. Race against destruction by a failing star or help lost aliens find their real destination. Rivals must work together, be they galactic foes, or rival assassins after the same target. Explore mining planets exhausting their ore reserves and another where bullets are worth more than gold. What happens when movies no longer have human actors? Make first contact and explore a reality where machines created to control pests begin to make their own decisions on what constitutes a nuisance. Don’t forget to duke it out amongst the stars like a wild west outlaw.
You are sure to find a great escape amongst the tales in this 8th edition of Spring Into SciFi.
