The Big Time Bundle - Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Once upon a time, only science fiction fans understood time travel. Occasionally it crept into the mainstream, in movies like Somewhere in Time, with the late lamented Christopher Reeve, but mostly, it was something only a handful of us loved. Then things changed.

Maybe the world got more fraught. Maybe consumers got more open minded. Whatever caused the change, it was for the good. Now, everyone seems to love a good time travel story.

We have a lot of good time travel stories here. Some of them have a number of accolades, like Canadian Douglas Smith's two Aurora finalists or my own The Gallery of His Dreams which was a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards. These are pure time travel stories, as is Kevin J. Anderson's Trinity Paradox, but other books in this bundle combine genres.

Lisa Silverthorne and Kathryn Kaleigh give us time travel romance, which has become a hot subgenre all its own. Dean Wesley Smith's novel Thunder Mountain has time travel and romance and tosses in Western tropes for good measure.

Michael A. Stackpole's Realm of Chaos combines fantasy and romance. Brothers Ron and Jeff Collins add music to their time travel tale (and put us on a cruise ship as well!). WMG Publishing's Time Travel Holidays anthology is exactly what the title promises—a variety of time travel tales set during the holiday season. And Robert Jeschonek is a genre all to himself. You'll see what I mean when you read his exclusive in the bundle, filled with great and gonzo tales.

There are a lot of time travel stories that will take you into the past as well as the future. Stories in which time travel goes wrong, and stories in which it goes very, very right.

You can get all of these for as little as $20. Throw in some money for our charity, Girls On The Run, which helps girls secure their future (perfect for a time travel bundle!), and you'll guarantee that your own future is filled with great and powerful fiction.
