I read the first two books in the series back-to-back and what was there not to love for any booklover. The Actuator, a machine that can transform parts of the world into different literary genres, has been set loose on the entire planet. The Machine Monks, those who were supposed to take care of the Actuator, have been looking for the keys with which they can shut down parts of these worlds. Preferably before the end of the world. In the mean time, other stuff is also going on. This you can read in this short story collection, where different authors have written short stories set in the Actuator world.

While I liked the short stories in general, I was a bit disappointed that the main story of the series didn't really progressed.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )

Chaos Chronicles (The Actuator #3) by James Wymore, Dan Willis, Matthew S. Cox, Bob Defendi, Lorna Marie Larson, D.J. Butler, C.M. Spivey, and Patrick Burdine is a collection of fine sci-fi! There is not a bad story in the bunch. My favorites are Eyes in the Void by Dan Willis, which I hope will be a full novel because it is soooo good! Another of my favorites is Safari by Lorni Marie Larson and boy what a safari that turned out to be. Last but not least was Battle Mountain by James Wymore which had lots of twist and turns. I loved all the stories so it was hard to pick a favorite that is why I have so many on this review! All were my favorites! A great book and I was not disappointed with this great novel and the high class of authors. I bought Actuator 1 now so I am going to read it. I was granted the privilege to read this book from NetGalley and I am so thankful. ( )
