Step through the shimmering Portal of Eris, where the laws of time are fragile, memory is unreliable, and reality bends to the will of imagination. In this dazzling collection of eleven science fiction tales, Peter H. Eris takes readers on a journey across eras, dimensions, and galaxies, each story a window into the strange beauty and absurdity of existence itself.
Time is not a straight line: it's a labyrinth of choices, accidents, and cosmic mischief.
Within the mysterious vaults of the Eris Archive, forgotten stories flicker to life once more, each one a fragment of humanity's improbable journey through the corridors of time and imagination.
In this second volume of
Unlikely Realities
, Peter H. Eris presents eleven haunting and intriguing tales that traverse the farthest reaches of the universe and the deepest corners of the human soul. From the
Clockmaker's Dilemma
, where a craftsman wrestles with the rebellion of his own invention, to
The Forgotten Passenger
, lost between moments of eternal hope, the Erebus was a pioneer Star Ship, en route to Proxima Centauri B when the entire human cargo falls victim to the unexpected, except one, 'Voss', these stories twist perception and provoke wonder. Discover a world where receipts can time-travel, librarians are immortal: a custodian of infinite knowledge who remembers too much, these stories explore what it means to be lost and found in the flow of eternity. Where the Moon harbours long-buried secrets. Bureaucrats file reports across galaxies, lost planets whisper forgotten names, and one lonely café serves the last cup of coffee on Earth.
Across parallel lives, forgotten planets, and the last coffee shop on Earth, travellers, dreamers, and bureaucrats of the cosmos stumble upon truths that defy the ticking of every clock. Witty, poignant, and profoundly absurd,
Chronicles through Time and Space
invites readers to slip once more through the Portal of Eris, where the impossible is merely the start of another story. Each tale invites you to question not only
when
we are, but
why
we are.
