A review by serena_dawn
No Way Home by Alex Roddie, Lucas Bale
4.0
Received Free ARC (Advanced Readers Copy) for Read-for-Review : Goodreads Group : Pro-Active Destruction: Harry Manners
To Sing of Chaos and Eternal Night (Lucas Bale): with the Widows, a soldier can fight forever, dying on the battlefield only live again to fight another day. In such a war the only very real question becomes, what are you fighting for? And what would you do if you knew the truth...
XE, or People Are Crazy (S. Elliot Brandis): sometimes it doesn't matter how far you get from people, they always seem to find you, and there is always something now very sane about the way they behave. Sometimes the sane and safe thing to be is paranoid.
Grist (J. S. Collyer): history is full of darkness, but when your a miner that dreams of the sky and the mines use something called bloodgrease, the only way out might lead to death.
Merely A Madness (S. W. Fairbrother): rebels come in all shapes and sizes, on a Earth abused for its resources, people on Earth are born now with missing limbs -or too many parts- are thought of no better than beasts or animals, until they rise up from the mud, because with love comes hope - but hope isn't always on your heart's side.
Revolver (Michael Patrick Hicks): what if you were so poor people paid you a starting bid of $5,000 to end your life on live TV? Is that a world still worth something? Still worth living in or fighting for? The thing about revolutions is it's not surprising how many begin with a Revolver.
The Happy Place (Harry Manners): I am sure you've heard the phrase "go to your happy place", but what if you can't? What if you're on the Moon and remembering a lover lost, with a dead end handyman/sanitation job, children you can never take home to Earth with you, and standing between you and your happy place is all that ...and there is no escape. You can only hope it's enough.
Renata (Nadine Matheson): visions, assassins, professors and ambassadors, and a family that ties together all three -and more- with such a family's blood flowing through you, a time machine may mean very little, or be key to rebirth and growth.
Cold Witness (A. S. Sinclair): a theme that ran through my mind reading this can be reminded with "Zhuang Zhou Dreams of Being a Butterfly", who you really has in the end less to do with name and realities "facts", but perhaps lays with what you do and don't fear...and why.
I quite liked them all, strange and unique, and stranded, one way or another, far from home.
