Is anybody else out there? Are they friendly or hostile? Will we find them or have they already found us? These are the questions we have all pondered as we gaze into the endless expanse of the night sky. Sixteen established and up-coming authors explore these questions and more in this collection of science fiction. Let’s venture together into the unknown as we search for FIRST CONTACT.

"A riotous feast of time travel stories, fresh and profound, touching the classic bases with a surprising originality and diversity of style" - From the intro by Paul Levinson.

"Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out." - Stephen Hawking. 

Issues of Tomorrow explores the ultimate question of science fiction writers everywhere: what if? What if we had affordable faster than light drives? What if we had unlimited clean energy? What happens when a pivotal moment or idea changes the world? In this anthology, some of today's hottest indie authors tackle these what ifs with twenty short stories that address the fictional realities we are already beginning to experience. What if AIs became more creative than humans? What if robots could experience the feelings of love or despair? The future will soon be upon us. What if...?

Altered States II doesn't just have cyberpunk in it! Cyberpunk seeps from its pores. Cyberpunk forms its building blocks like DNA forms ours.

GREATER LOS ANGELES 2166 CE… WHEN A PROMINENT BUSINESSMAN is brutally murdered, Detective Audric Devereux is assigned the case. But nothing could have prepared him for a puppet master’s deadly game, a game that turns innocent women into mindless, cybernetic killing machines. Now, delving deep into the streets, Devereux must weave through the crazed, violent underbelly of the City of Angels, as death stalks the innocent and guilty alike.

Barbarian hordes! Noble savages! Conflicting chosen ones! Sub-literate subordinates! All are present in these rip-roaring, wild, galaxy-hopping adventures of the crew of A Terran Starship.

A Terran Starship attempts to bring good old-fashioned FREEDOM to Uranus and fails! Instead, hard pounding action slams them into the darkest depths of Uranus as a power struggle unfolds with awkwardly hilarious results, entangling them in a vast, intergalactic struggle for dominance.

Take a flight of the imagination to near-future cyberpunk worlds, travel beyond the stars, and to divergent universes like and unlike our own. Travel to the enigmas of science and time…travel to the altered states of the mind.

Stories by upcoming and established cyberpunk/sci- fi authors, curated by Roy C Booth and Jorge Salgado-Reyes.

This anthology represents the very first publication of science fiction by Indie Authors Press.
