Reviews
A beautifully styled work of fiction. Short and sharp with strong concepts...each story was its own masterpiece in character work. I am confident that whatever your taste, you'll find a favorite in this varied and consistently high-quality collection. -K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite A love letter from the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Miss the wit and charm of early Asimov or A. E. van Vogt? This collection will make you smile. SF fans will enjoy the clever use of narrative and concepts which make time into an almost Loki-esque character. -Dr. Steve Carter, PhD Psychology An enticing reading. It is the book equivalent of a David Fincher film, full of plot twists in each story and mentality challenging as a Douglas Hofstadter book. Stanlei's stories will stay with you as you wait for Elon Musk to build a time machine. -Leo Rapini, Creative Entrepreneur
