Author Description

Fifteen new science fiction series. One shared principle: Humanity must never surrender the final choice to the machine. Welcome to “Anthromech” where technology may serve, amplify, and even merge with humanity, but it must never rule it; these stories push back against the tired assumption that machines will inevitably inherit the future. This isn’t your traditional anthology, though; it is a Simultaneous Series Launch, introducing fifteen new series in one explosive volume. Readers won’t just discover new worlds here; they’ll help decide which of them march forward into production as full series. Which ones will succeed? You make the call on which ones you want to see more of. Even more unusual, over half the stories pair veteran, bestselling Chris Kennedy Publishing authors with newer writers, turning the book itself into an act of mentorship as well as an imagination of the future. So climb aboard “Anthromech;” after all, the machine is nothing without you! With stories by: S.W. Swoope II & Chris Kennedy Craig Bell & Kevin Steverson Richard Cartwright & William S. Frisbee, Jr. Joseph Hower & William Alan Webb Charli Cox & John E. Siers Jay Burr & Mark Stallings David Appleby & Robert E. Hampson Abigail Jenkins & April Kelley Jones M.D. Boncher Russ Tilton Michael LaVoice C.A. Waldron
