Jul 02, DJ rated it liked it Shelves: So many different ways to time travel! Logan 6 is a clone who is sent into the future to try to kill a man named Adam. What's special about time travel is that only people capable of it are clones. Any non-clone humans that have tried have been unsuccessful.
Masters of Time: A Science Fiction and Fantasy Time Travel Anthology
Because of this, clones are specifically designed for the rigors of time travel and genetically modified solely for the purpose of killing this Adam. As you can imagine, some people outside of the corporation disagree with this view.
Connolly, is a psychologist and seems to sympathize with Logan as a friend. After Logan 6 comes back from a failed mission, he talks with Dr. Connolly, and begins to wonder about where his name came from. Logan 6 then takes it upon himself to find out what happen to the five previous Logan, and who exactly this Adam is. The Light Storm of by H. Ben is a college student, who is having troubles dealing with the passing of his father. Apparently, there is a theory that if you fly into a light storm, you can travel back in time. Ben tell his friend, Gina, this and she tries to convince him that maybe they should try.
This story hit very close to home for me. When Ben said his dad used to call him up for hour talking about the latest NASA new and theories his fan websites would have about the light storm, all I could think about was how my dad would call me up in college to talk about LOST and spend hours on the phone explaining his theories. And like Ben, at times I would lie that I had to go to stop his talking.

When Ben said he used shake his head at his dad's texts of "OMG" and "ur", I thought the same thing as mine. I was genuinely laughing out at this My father is still alive and healthy, but that really hit close to home for me. It was a very emotional story and I felt a deep, personal connection to it. You have to read this. Maddie is a little girl who walks through a painting and ends up in a slave plantation. She is assumed to be a little girl of one of the visiting cousins, off lost wandering, and is brought back to the plantation where she is forced to talk with and do the other activities with the other little girls.
I understand what the this story was trying to do taking a little girl of our time and putting her in a time where there is slavery. And seeing Maddie communicate with the other little girls there, it shows that knowledge isn't just about facts and math, because Maddie "knows" that slavery is wrong, while the other girls think she is crazy that there shouldn't be a world with slaves. Alice does an excellent job of illustrating the difference between the two times, and using a child to do this, but even with what was happening to Maddie, I didn't sympathize with her, and nothing caught me it the story.
Once I realized what message the story was trying give, it was just going through the motions after that. A women who is a wife and a widow, wonders about the two men she has loved in her life, and wonders how things would be could be different. What she could have done for her ex-husband to still be alive, and for her current husband, to still be a loving family man with his ex-wife. She is writer, and she believed that if she can create a world in her stories, than if she tries hard, maybe should could rewrite history.
But if she did this, and never got to meet either of them, would she still do it? This was beautify written, with a touching message about love. Staring Into by Timothy C. The reason he wants to go back in time, is because he wants to prevent his girlfriend from dying. There is a specific time window that Andy has to be prepared for, and he believes that what makes time travel possible, he will see on a security camera at work.
Tim does an amazing job of building the tension up in the story. As you can see my brief synopsis, there is no real "action" that happens, but you still become more on edge as the time goes on. You build a connection to Andy at the start learning he holds himself responsible for his girlfriend's death, and as he makes a phone called to his father who he has a distant relationship with. As I said, this is my favorite way time travel is shown. Agent January Fogarty is part of a special force, who sent agents back in time.

The mysteries though, are where I think some reader may have problems. Technically, I guess you would call it foreshadowing, but seeing as how it's a short story, and these hints don't gets complete answers When January is told she might have been set up, she immediately think it was her father, but she doesn't say why it would be father or what she might have done to think he would do that to her. Or the two men who she finds, claim they too were set up, but they never say exactly what it was that they did or why their company would want to eliminate them.
For me personally, they added to suspense of the events, and brought me into the mystery of the story. Aside from the obvious theme of time travel duh! Each story has a different type of time travel, and each author uses and explains their own time travel in different ways; no two stories are the same. Then take into account the emotion each story has to offer for readers - these are not simply going forward or backwards in a time capsule to the dinos or flying cars; these stories have a lot.
Granted that how much I like each story did fluctuate, but that how it is in most anthologies. I would recommend checking this one out. It's only 99 pages with 6 stories , so each story is a good length to give you a quick fix for that time travel itch. Today, Andy is going to try and save his dead girlfriend. Today, Logan realizes he is more than just a clone--and the power to control Time is within his reach.
Today, Ben confesses his love to Gina, before flying into a time vortex. Today TIME will fall into unlikely hands Jul 16, Deborah rated it really liked it Shelves: This anthology of time travel presents six truly diverse stories about an always challenging theme. The pitfalls of time travel stories are many and varied, but these short stories all focus on the characters more than the mechanics, making them highly engaging even if, as a reader, you are dubious about the subject. She arrives eventually at a plantation back in the bad old days of slavery and governesses.
Mistaken for a visiting cousin, and confused by their lack of modern amenities not to mention fast food , we see the era through the eyes of a child — wondrous at first, then quickly becoming terrifying as the prospect of being stuck there looms large. Logan 6 drew me in too.
Skilfully written, the breathless ramping up of tension is notably well done. And can she believe her latest target when he turns out to be a veteran ghost who has chosen to stay in the past. I was a touch irritated by the rather open ending of this one. At its heart, though, is a story of love and loss, and the desperate lengths one might go to, to turn back time.
It does have a lovely ending. Jul 10, Stephanie rated it liked it Shelves: A collection of six science fiction and fantasy stories focusing around the theme of time travel. Through each story, it was really interesting to see the different emotions that went into each characters ability or decision to time travel, from love to grief, hope to adventure, every traveler had unique reasons for their journeys in time.
Another aspect that I enjoyed through each story were the different methods of time travel that each story used. As with any anthology there were stories that A collection of six science fiction and fantasy stories focusing around the theme of time travel.
As with any anthology there were stories that I liked more than others. My absolute favorite was End of the Road where a rambunctious 5-year old girl named Maddie travels through a painting at her grandmother's house. Maddie gets a taste of life on a Southern plantation once she walks through the painting and finds that she likes her life much better.
I loved the painting as a medium for travel, the point of view from a child and Maddie's go-with-the-flow reaction to everything that was happening to her. The other story in the collection that drew me in was The Light Storm of College friends Gina and Ben take the chance to change one event in their past through a once in a lifetime light storm. For a short story, I felt like I got to know Gina and Ben really well, I loved the light storm as a method of travel, and I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Overall, a great collection of time travel stories with a little something for everyone.

Wells was published in Missions are not always as they seem for time-travel agents, be they human or clone. A light storm can be more than colourful electricity. Children should be a bit wearier of some paintings. Bending time to save people might require sacrifices, and timing.
It is an agreeable read for a rainy day and the last page will drop you with a cliffhanger just as the sunshine chases the clouds away. You will start wondering: Dec 09, Ashley Tomlinson rated it really liked it. Masters of Time is a collection of stories about time travel. I'm kind of on the fence about time travel my self, some books can pull it off and some can't.
I think for the most part theses stories pulled the theme off well. Each story had a different way to go back or ahead in time which I liked, it would have been boring if they all had the same method. All in all I liked these stories and I'm glad Alesha Escobar gave me the chance to read them. I think all of the authors are very talented and Masters of Time is a collection of stories about time travel. I think all of the authors are very talented and I highly recommend this book to anyone.
