The Most Beautiful Woman by Jennifer Ellis: This was a very well written story. What if Hedy Lamarr had been taken seriously as an inventor, rather than just looked upon for her beauty? She would have been a force to be reckoned with for sure. Well developed characters and just enough historical facts make this an almost perfect little short story.

The Locked Web by Alex Roddie: What if the world's governments had kept the internet out of the hands of the public? Fantastic characters and a compelling plot in this story. Roddie did an amazing job of world-building in such a short amount of time. Well done, and a great way to end another top notch anthology.

The Blackbird Sings by Therin Knite: A futuristic what-if story about what could have happened if the cold war ended in nuclear war. Great characters and a fun read. This story was easily one of my favorites in the collection and was a blast to read.

The Finest Mask by JJ Brown: What if the Native Americans had been resistant to the diseases that the European settlers brought with them, and the Europeans were the ones ravaged by disease? I was quickly pulled into this story, and really enjoyed its characters and pace. Another well written little story that I liked very much.

The Visitation by Hank Garner: Have aliens shaped human development all along? The premise and characters of this story were both outstanding, and it was very well written. I absolutely loved the little twist at the end. Bravo, Mr. Garner! This might be my favorite story in the collection!

The Black Network by Adam Venezia: A great premise, but this one felt like it needed a little more fleshing out. The first half of the story was superb, but the last half felt a little rushed in both the writing and the editing.

The Tesla Gate by Drew Avera: What if Tesla had indeed discovered a way to travel back in time? This was a strange story that was still somehow captivating. The characters were wonderful, and I would like to read more of this story.

The Elissiad by Asha Bardon: What if the ancient Gods were really aliens? It's not a history channel show, but a very well written story with great characters. I enjoyed reading this one a lot.

Drought by J.E. Mac: An interesting scenario. Decent characters, but they could have used a little bit more development. Not a bad story, but needs a little bit more polishing.
