*** REVIEWER'S PICK ***
Sergeant Rick, written by Robert B Marcus, Jr. And Ryan B. Marcus claimed first place. The storyline was filled with mystery and intrigue. It was well-written and easy to follow. The narrative spoke to an eerie, weird storyline reminiscent of The Twilight Zone with an ending that left me reaching out for more.
I send my gratitude to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review. Special recognition is sent to Laurence O'Bryan for putting together this first anthology of short stories. It was well done.
This anthology has a set of atypical stories. If you like stories that may seem somewhat weird and sometimes perhaps unfinished then you should try this. I particularly enjoyed one by Chris Turner that was both.
Vizions of the Future is a strongly written and well-organized collection. There's something in this volume that is sure to please a wide range of science fiction readers. I was especially glad to discover a new work by Adam Boustead, an author I have encountered in my book reviewing before. Recommended for readers of this genre and those who want to explore new worlds.
