Poet, writer, editor, and journalist Sheila Martindale received an early copy of the new Inklings Press anthology Tales From The Universe for review - and here, on launch day, is her opinion on the book!
If
you don’t want to leave the love of your life by dying, maybe transferring
yourself to a younger body would be the answer!
Or, in another scenario, you could integrate two people into one, and be
together forever. If mining in space is
your thing, one of these writers can take you there – but not for long if you
need to breathe air. Do you struggle with questions of God and Science? The answer may be in this book. Or, perhaps, in some life in the far distant
future on another planet, Hercule Poirot could help you out.
Science
fiction has never really been my thing, but I really enjoyed the ten stories in
Tales From The Universe. These writers take us to places beyond the
imagination, and make us think about things we have not dreamed of.
Stars: 5/5
