Times of Trouble A Time Travel Anthology eBook Peter Clines Craig DiLouie Brian P Easton Thom Brannan Jason S Hornsby Lane Adamson
Once you read "The Time Traveler's Almanac", you're kind of spoiled for life, but it propels you to seek out other Time-based fiction anthologies mercilessly. I thought that I had literally read them all, or at least all of the good ones, when I came across Times of Trouble. These stories are satisfying; and there's quite a few of them. They are not all about literal time travel, as in a person being temporally transported to a different time. Sometimes the temporal transposition is subtle. There was one story where I thought that evil people in the future were executing helpless prisoners until it was explained exactly what had been transported in time. There are a few post-apocalyptic tales, but they do not overwhelm the anthology; and there's a zombie story or two. But whatever you read in this book will involve time and it will be entertaining. Do go ahead and buy it. You'll have no regrets.Tags : Times of Trouble (A Time Travel Anthology) - Kindle edition by Peter Clines, Craig DiLouie, Brian P. Easton, Thom Brannan, Jason S.

Times of Trouble A Time Travel Anthology eBook Peter Clines Craig DiLouie Brian P Easton Thom Brannan Jason S Hornsby Lane Adamson Reviews
I have now read two anthologies edited by Lane Adamson. I think, at this point, it's safe to assume that anything with his name on it will be quality. Every story in this collection is good; every story is diverse. I rarely feel this way when reading anthologies; usually I prepare myself for the lesser fare sandwiched between the good stories. Nothing of the sort in Times of Trouble. Just one great time travel tale after the next.
There are stories with clever twists Tempest Fugitive by Thomas Brannan and Rob Pegler . . . Mandatory Waiting Period by Aaron Polson.
There are stories filled with creepy goodness Little Girl Lost by Jeff Drake.
There's humor Matthew Baugh's Rabid Season.
There are beautiful stories worthy of awards, even Frank Farrar's Forgetting is incredible. The last few pages of The Scavenger by Michael C. Lea are also pretty hard to forget.
There are stories that are different in a good way Rakie' Kieg's Let Me Take you There.
There are action packed thrill rides Joshua Reynold's Hounded.
There are even zombies The Time Traveler's Late Wife by Stan Timmons.
There's more, of course . . .
What an awesome collection!
I don't usually like short story collections. It's funny, they're what I tend to write - but I don't like reading them very often... I think it's because I like reading detailed character exposition and complex plot lines, especially those that aren't fully revealed until several books in, and those aren't typically found in short stories. Still, every now and then I find some one or some collection whose shorts I really really like - and this was one.
Perhaps it's due to my well-documented (teehee) obsession with time travel. I will give almost any time travel novel a try - it's become quite the over-populated genre since the popularity explosion of things like Outlander (if you only know the Showtime series, you must pick up the Gabaldon books, they're everything amazing about the shows and then some), but there are still quite a lot of decent things out there. This collection is MORE than one...
I picked it up for the Peter Clines short (if you don't know him, you must look him up too - fantastic quirky sci-fi with incredible characterization and truly unique world-building, something becoming increasingly difficult due to the population explosion sci-fi has also enjoyed of late). His story was fabulous, as expected. But the delightful find for me was how many of the others also were... It's a great organizing construct too - when time travel goes wrong it goes REALLY wrong - so if you like weird, unusual, "be careful what you wish for" tales, check this one out!
Good read. Only a few so so stories. Otherwise I would recommend it . Especially if you are into travel stories like i am
Some of the stories were amazing short stories that really made you think and some well left you scratching your head.
Time travel fiction is either a guilty or intellectual pleasure. The latter gets your mind to fold and stretch as you consider implications and possibilities. The former are silly, fun romps that are often explorations on the same theme (and border on plagiarism). Either way, I enjoy the genre but struggled over a couple of months to finish this collection. I feel guilt if I do not make the effort with a book even if it is trying. I would put Times Trouble down for a week and read something else. When I returned the next story would be as poor as the previous. I could create no momentum. Three were passable and one was quite good but that failed to balance the scale.
