About this audiobook

Continuum is a genre defying collection of sharp suspenseful stories that tread on the darker side of human nature.

Ambitious in scope, it vividly moves through slices of time—from ages past, the present, and into the unknowable future. The stories question our deepest subconscious passions and asks—how much control do we really have? Can good people be conditioned to commit atrocities? Is it possible for kindness and cruelty to exist within the same person? Can our species ever extricate itself from our worst tendencies? In the most interconnected age in human history—why are some of us so alone?

REVIEWS

"Tension-building excellence . . . Often ethereal and otherworldly, Continuum is a short story collection designed to challenge perceptions of life and its trajectory. Its literary collection of suspense pieces probe the dark psyche of the soul and the evolutionary process that brings humanity and individuals to their knees, only to arise with new possibilities."

—D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"A fantastic short story collection that explores the truths of human experience . . . While the stories are widely diverse, a single motif runs through them, uniting them all. Whether we're visiting ancient Britain, futuristic Mars, or a modern day 20s-inspired cocktail lounge, these well-executed stories dig into the heart of human nature."

—Independent Book Review

This assortment of short stories was amazing! I have to say that short stories are my bread and butter, my cookies and cream, my peanut butter and jam! These specific stories were all examinations of the human experience from past, present, and future decades, even centuries and from a cynically real perceptive leaning on the darkness of human nature. Great narrators, awesome cover and a great read. I recommend this book to all readers! A new favorite that I will be adding to my bookshelf!
