Inhaltsangabe

This anthology brings together a riveting collection of science fiction and horror tales, each set in a different place and time, inviting readers to explore the unknown.

In ‘Destination Infinity,’ astronauts on a mission around the Alpha Centauri system return to Earth 150 years later than planned, only to find a totalitarian regime has seized control of a high-tech society with unsettling visions for communal life.

‘An Encounter With Destiny’ follows the survivors of a plane crash stranded on a remote Pacific island during a nuclear war as they confront the haunting possibility that they might be the last people on Earth. Among them is a mysterious scientist, whose presence stirs both hope and unease.

In ‘The German Factor or The Recreation Machine,’ a man invents a device that turns photographs into reality. But as he falls in with a reneged army bent on rebellion, his invention is weaponized, transforming this tale into a thrilling war story.

The horror story ‘Even the Wicked for the Day of Evil’ follows a Haitian immigrant who, after his French roommate dies in police custody, turns to voodoo for revenge.

In ‘The Next Star Past Luyten 725-34,’ the first astronauts on a mission of interstellar colonization stumble upon colonies already established by previous Earth expeditions.

The science fiction tale ‘A Return to Huntington Grounds’ imagines a near future where a baseball team travels back in time, altering the course of their sport forever.

Finally, in a ‘Deadland,’ a lonely man driven by despair reaches for the occult to escape his misery, gaining unimaginable power to retaliate against everyone who stands in his way.

This collection offers a journey across the strange and the terrifying, where the boundaries of reality, ambition, and revenge are pushed to their limits.
