Somebody hacking their way to third place in a marathon gets more than he bargained for…
A light-hearted time travelling story.
A strong issue, with stories from authors well-established and authors on the way up : Aliette de Bodard, Bruce McAllister, Caroline M. Yoachim, Damien Broderick, David Erik Nelson, Stephen Baxter.
An engagingly told story, with an interesting background, partially glimpsed from a vantage point behind the bushes outside the dancehall.
