Explore worlds advanced beyond belief but eerily similar to today.
Path of the Bearers and Other Stories is a collection of 18 futuristic fables by Nicholas Licalsi. Everyday characters face otherworldly challenges and are forced to embrace new and uncomfortable realities. One wrong decision could ruin humanity’s chances of surviving among the stars.
In “Crystal Ball Computing”, a computer has the potential to predict the future but only if it can uncover its creator’s inexplicable disappearance. In “Path of the Bearers”, alien bugs, cosmic beasts, and frozen exo-suits await young travelers on their journey. In “How the Patron Navigates”, the limitations of a high profile project must be reveled while joyriding through an asteroid field. In “Swinging Sticks”, a pocket dimension promises time to focus, but the neighbor’s drum practice doesn’t make it easy.
Artificial intelligence becomes combative, alien intentions are unknown, and humans hinder each other for personal gain. Path of the Bearers and Other Stories is a collection of virtuous and thought-provoking tales, so take a glance towards our future in the stars today.
Path of the Bearers and Other Stories will be available from Amazon as an eBook, Paperback, and Kindle Unlimited!
