Prometheus Award winner Sarah Hoyt has published an anthology about time travel and second chances.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps of greatest interest to LFS members, the six-story collection includes a prequel to Hoyt\u2019s No Man\u2019s Land,<\/i> a current Best Novel nominee.
\n<\/i>
\nSix stories are included in Christmas In Time: Six Stories of Time Travel and Second Chances.
\n<\/i>
\nThe No Man\u2019s Land <\/i>prequel is \u201cWhat Child Is This,” which focuses on how a child\u2019s accidental time-slip can save a man\u2019s life and create the bonds of family love.<\/p>\n

From the publisher\u2019s description of the anthology:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen time itself becomes an ocean, only the brave dare navigate its currents\u2026 From award-winning author Sarah A. Hoyt come six tales of time travel, parallel worlds, and the furthest reaches of space\u2014all bound together by Christmas miracles and the choices that define us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeet Time Corps agents who risk madness to prevent reality from splintering. Follow a mathematician pulled into a parallel universe where his twin captains starships between worlds. Watch as mysterious children arrive from impossible futures, and discover Victorian lighthouses that serve as anchors in the storm of time itself. Journey from blood-soaked space stations to asteroid colonies at the edge of the known universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the eighth anthology of stories that Hoyt has published over the past decade, beginning in 2015.<\/p>\n

Hoyt\u2019s other anthologies include Here Be Dragons: A Collection of Short Stories, So Little and So Light, Dragon Blood, Crawling Between Heaven and Earth, Wings, Trade Winds <\/i>and Christmas in the St<\/i>ars.<\/p>\n
