A space anthology from out of this world!
If you enjoy the concept of a story within a story, this work hits on all accounts.
Jason and his sister, Amy, find themselves aboard a space station run by an odd old fella named Talismort.
While the kids' father works on getting the station communications back up, the children are taken on a tour of the vessel.
Talismort relates tales of his journey with a religious flair.
Science behind the story inserts help to answer any questions the reader may have about space.
Be ready for imaginative interpretations of outer space by amazing dreamers.

I find this book good because it is entertaining and stretches your imagination to the possible future. This book had a moral to basically each of its 14 short stories. My favorites were, don’t judge by appearance, and things that are unseen can still be there. But, my favorite part was the Chess 4 Life chapter, because I like chess and it was really mysterious and interesting. Overall, this book is very good if you have some free time.

A great collection of Christian speculative short fiction.
All of the stories are tied together by one broken up Framing story about a family who gets stranded on a abandoned space station only it isn't really abandoned.
A must lovers of Bradbury as it is very reminicent of his collection The Illustrated Man.

I loved this book. The intermingling of a
space travelers interaction with a hologram,
and the short stories makes for a great read.
My favorite story out of the whole book is a tie
between Buried Secrets by Shane Johnson, and
Tin Man by Jim Denney
