Reviews"Along the way, the five works here offer readers remarkable flights of imagination, occasional surprises, and an overarching sense of wonder. A high-quality anthology with a Christian outlook that embraces science. -- Kirkus Reviews "I was intrigued by all of the stories for their clarity and directness--no pompous prose, just clear voice and clear thinking. I especially admire that the use of science (and fictive science) is in service of, never overpowering, the human dynamic, the human question, the human center to each story . . . all of them are compelling." --Tom O. Phillips, MA, PhD, Associate Dean of Wake Forest University and founder of Words Awake! "When I finish a good story like this one, I continue to think about the characters, not wanting it to end. I'll have to let my imagination finish the love story of Jonathan and Desiree." --Nancy Cox, editor at the NIH Library of Medicine, "Along the way, the five works here offer readers remarkable flights of imagination, occasional surprises, and an overarching sense of wonder.

Phillips, MA, PhD, Associate Dean of Wake Forest University and founder of Words Awake! "Wilkie has produced an amazingly imaginative and compelling set of stories that not only take the reader to new worlds, but convey fundamental life lessons we would all do well to ingest. For a non-science fiction reader, they were a revelation. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in an entertaining and enlightening read." --Mary Llewellyn McNeil, author of Century's Witness "When I finish a good story like this one, I continue to think about the characters, not wanting it to end.

SynopsisCan an extraterrestrial intelligence use our own biology against us? Can a human consciousness survive in a virtual environment? Can one wish for a mate to avoid the rigors of dating? Can a book written by a future savior spark a new religion? Each of the stories in this speculative collection takes the reader further into the future and farther out into the cosmos., This collection of novelettes takes the reader from the not-to-distant future to a time when travel between worlds is a common occurrence. Each stop along mankind's journey outward to the stars is accompanied by a deeper look inward--from examining how extraterrestrial beings might use our own biology against us, to whether a human consciousness can survive in a virtual environment, to how wishes are really granted. Original and thought provoking, these stories--which include an interstellar religious thriller involving a second coming of Christ--will stimulate the intellect and engage the imagination.
