Each action we take has consequences for ourselves and others. Some open opportunities. Some bring benefits. Others can cause disasters. Internationally award-winning author David A. Wimsett explores the consequences of different human actions and considers the ethical questions they raise in this set of speculative fiction stories.
- A powerful executive wakes up in hell to find fire and brimstone replaced with modern cities and unending opportunities, until a secret is discovered.
- Children of a space colony question the home their parents chose for them before they were born.
- A scientist discovers the secret of time travel and its challenges.
- In a future world where AI robots provide all goods and services and people can meet anyone instantly through virtual spaces with no need for physical contact, a police detective uncovers a conspiracy, but not the one he expected.
- A young man's quest for a magical dagger takes on new meaning when he meets an aged wizard.
Each tale follows characters as they reach crises in their lives that can change their futures for good or ill.
Unintended Consequences is a well written collection of thought-provoking sci-fi stories that are easily digestible and entertaining. Full of intriguing plot twists and well devised characters, Wimsett's tales are short, succinct and intriguing.- Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize
