INFINITE WORLDS.
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.

A woman visits her teenage grandfather on the day he meets her grandmother. A young married couple comes to a fork in humanity's road on Mars. A detective meets an unusual amnesiac in postwar New York City. A pair of explorers confront a frozen sky. An old man questions his sanity when he begins receiving strange calls. A little girl spends one last day with her beloved father before he goes off to war. A man loses the ability to worry while exploring a planet orbiting a distant star.

These are just some of the stories in Ten Worlds Away, a gripping collection of speculative fiction inspired by the classic science fiction of the mid-20th century and Rod Serling's groundbreaking television series, The Twilight Zone.

FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:
"Mari (The Beachhead) collects 10 poignant and contemplative speculative shorts that run the gamut of human emotions, endeavors, and faults. ... Mari cites The Twilight Zone as his inspiration for this collection, and the story that will most remind readers of an episode is 'Constant Contact, ' in which a lonely old man receives phone calls from dead loved ones. This clever collection is sure to please fans of wistful sci-fi."
