"The Time Travel Chronicles" features stories by science fiction grandmaster Robert J.

Synchronic: 13 Tales of Time Travel
David GatewoodSusan Kaye Quinn - 2014
From Michael Bunker's story of a father, a son, and the legendary Santa Anna Gold, to Jason Gurley's heart-wrenching tale of an astronaut forever torn from his young wife and daughter, these stories will keep you on the edge of your seat, and often have you guessing right up until the final word. You'll meet a prison therapist who treats his patients by going back and preventing their crimes; a woman who can't stop reliving her life, no matter how much it hurts; a space marine suffering from a time-altering brain injury; a woman who will betray the man she loves to correct a horrible mistake; a vengeful soul from ages past; and a time cop charged with preserving the timelines of multiple universes. You'll experience a world where time travel is so common, reality itself hangs by a thread; a love story that overcomes the unforgiving barriers of time; a thrilling encounter with a pack of T-rex; a historian's efforts to alter Roman history; and the first manned mission to the Red Planet-or is it? So sit back and enjoy. Just be sure you've got plenty of time.Contents; Foreword (Synchronic: 13 Tales of Time Travel) • essay by Nick Cole The Santa Anna Gold / short fiction by Michael Bunker Corrections / short fiction by Susan Kaye Quinn Hereafter / short story by Samuel Peralta Reentry / short fiction by Eric Tozzi The Swimming Pool of the Universe / short fiction by Nick Cole The River / short fiction by Jennifer Ellis A Word in Pompey's Ear / short fiction by Christopher G.

Roxanne Zaborovsky, a high-strung freelance computer programmer whose reclusive life gets tossed on its head when two men show up looking for her. Appearing mysteriously one night, the pair immediately set to fighting over Roxanne; before long, she realizes one is an old college acquaintance, Mason Merrick. Taking off with Mason, Roxanne learns that the men are each after a valuable bit of her work—a piece of code she hasn't even written yet.
