For anyone who loves Syfy will have a hard time picking a favorite in this audiobook from “death and the taxman” to “a trickle in history” to many more almost every story in this book are stellar. they even have author bios and story bios previous to the story itself these are such good stories and so many I didn’t know El Ron Hubbard even had an annual magazine but this is it 39th and I will definitely be looking for the previous ones and ones in the future don’t even have stories by L Ron Hubbard himself. There is at least nine hours of great storytelling I listen to the audiobook and thought the narration set the perfect tone for these great thigh five stories. I thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone of them and highly recommend this book. If you love sci-fi you are definitely missing out if you haven’t read L Ron Hubbard Presents Writers Of The Future by many different authors they even have stories from the man himself. I feel as if I have done the book of disservice by only mentioning two stories because they have so many other great ones you just have to listen and see for yourself. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

I enjoyed every story in here. Narrator was great throughout and great authors chosen to be included.

This is my first time coming across the ‘Writers of the future’ compilation. I wasn’t sure entirely what to expect but i loved it! I loved each beautiful story written by every single author. My favourite was “The Unwilling Hero”. I am now on the search for the previous 38 volumes as they are perfect for short bursts of imagination. These are perfect for sci fi lovers or stories that are truly out of this world.

My first experience with writers of the future was with volume 37 that I also reviewed for NetGalley, and you know what, this one didn’t disappoint, this time I got to listen to the audiobook version, and you had 3 different people reading the stories, each read a different story, I really enjoy when we have more than one reading, even thou, they didn’t collaborate in the different stories, but each read in their own the story and that was enjoyable.

Like I always say, an anthology is always worth the experience, because you always find something you really love and others you really like and others that are ok, even if they didn’t make you dream, this is a sound anthology, my favourite story in the book was “a trickle in history” trying to change history sometimes only need an artificial diamond, and you know what, the author had also a story in volume 37, things always come around I tell you, also another of my favourites was “Death and the taxman” where one tries to cheat death, “fire in the hole” a zombie detective with a vampire stepdaughter and more to the mix and it was overall a very interesting take on emancipation” yeah I will just throw it out there, you need to read this stories, it seems shorter than it actually is.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial Audio, thank you for the AAC and this is my honest opinion.

I’m always excited when the new Writers of the Future compilation comes out and this volume did not disappoint. I have been amazed at the quality of these books for years and this selection of winners are authors I look forward to reading more about in the future. My favorite was Death and the Taxman but in all honesty I loved them all and recommend them to anyone who wants some fun science fiction reading and fantasy reading.

As with the previous 'Writers of the Future' editions, we get a mixed bag of winning shortstories and their accompanying art.

From Death's burst with Death, to remained first contact, to the end of days, there are some real gems that I wholeheartedly recommend to get the creative juices flowing!

While I listened to the audiobook, which was well-narrated, I didn't feel like it really added to the stories at all.

My thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
