Synchronic: 13 Tales of Time Travel introduces 13 varied and original takes on the pitfalls and paradoxes of time travel-from some of today's most talented voices. 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.… (altro)

I really, really enjoyed these stories. Each one was so different and there were so many really cool takes on the concept of time travel. ( )

Like most anthologies this was a mixture of good and bad. I particularly enjoyed Corrections by Susan Kaye Quinn (an author I was interested in reading) and loved The First Cut by Edward W. Robertson. That's not to say there are not any other notable stories, a few are very thought provoking and moving, but these two were the highlights for me personally. ( )

Thirteen short stories, each with a slightly different take on the subject of time travel.

Susan Kay Quinn's "Corrections" is a real standout here; the others range from ~meh to pretty good. ( )

This is an anthology of short stories on the theme of time travel and written by some indie authors, some of whom are well known to me, and some of whom are not.

I suspect if you like Hugh Howey’s Wool series, you’ll like this, because I recognise several of these authors as ones who have written in the Wool universe (via the Kindle Worlds publish your fan-fic program). Despite my feelings about Amazon opening that can of P2P worms, there is definitely some good writing going on both there, and in this anthology.

This one is often free so as a sampler of indie sci-fi authors, it definitely works for that purpose.

I rated each story individually, which gave an average overall of a little over 3. But there are always a few stories in every anthology that every reader feels could have been left out, and for me those were offset by two stories I felt were quite spectacular.Longer review and per-story comments @ Booklikes ( )

I enjoyed this collection of short stories. I skipped or skimmed a few, but all in all they were very good. ( )
