Book Review: Promise by Christi Nogle
A young woman confronts her digital doppelganger. A mother and daughter struggle underground, finishing robots for the rich. A loving couple find that their mirrors are very different than mirrors used to be. Your devices sometimes connect not just to the web but to the afterlife. Be prepared for strangeness here. We have several types of aliens, alternate dimensions, virtual-reality writing retreats, time-travel games and time-travel tragedies, cosmic artforms and living paintings, haunted Zoom meetings, and giant worms. These stories reflect the weird and unknowable future. They are often bizarre and dreadful, but they also veer towards themes of hope, potential... and promise.

On one side of the Antonine Wall, thirteen-year-old Felix is trying to become a good Roman soldier like his father.

A Sci-Fi Short Story: The Andromene Empire
The skies were dark. It was a bad omen. The year is 2198. Planet Earth is dying and so is the human race. We don't have much time. Sadly, for many, this will be their last day on earth. The lucky ones will seek refuge in the stars and the unlucky ones will die. I was one of the lucky few who made it aboard the spaceships flying out of plant Earth today. Well luck and my skills as a pilot. I was recruited and trained by the Space Force. I was trained to fight off or flee from a potential alien attack. It was arrogant for humans to think that we were alone in this vast expanse of space. We suffered gravely from this arrogance and it wasn't until the year 2148 that we realized We weren't alone. We made first contact with an alien empire called the Andromene Empire. They came in “peace.”

Sphere: Book Review
So Jurassic Park was my favorite book/ movie / slash everything growing up. The book was published in 1990, when I was eight years old but you can bet I read that sucker cover to cover till the movie came out in 1993. I know eight seems a bit young to read Jurassic Park but at the time I was reading several grade levels above my peers and reading almost constantly any book I could get my hands on. I was your typical late 80’s early 90’s dino nerd and loved science. Even in my professional life today I am reading science texts almost daily to keep up with the biology, chemistry and physics classes I teach on the high school level. The book just seemed written for me and I lapped it up. My mother, noticing my interest and always supportive of my reading, immediately went hunting for more Micheal Crichton books.
