Science fiction comes in many flavors.

Technological advances not too far-fetched or far off. For better or worse.

And of course, what sorts of creatures and cultures await us among the stars.

Jason A. Adams and Kari Kilgore explore these areas and more, each with their own unique voice and twists of imagination.

Come along for the adventure, near and far, tomorrow and into the future!
