The Distant Dreams: Short Story Anthology II

The Distant Dreams is the second book in The Distant Moons Short Story collection by Adair Broughton. Some of the stories are still in the City of Rain but often the reader is taken on much further adventures. There are eleven stories in this second anthology and are still all character centred dystopian tales of disparate lives, of changing conditions and of people who are generally at a pivotal moment of change in their lives. Each story can be read on it's own but some of the characters can appear and fade in some of the other stories. See if you can see how they relate. There are dark thoughts, sparse but bright moments of joy and many hidden depths of intrigue.. These can be stories of strangers, or stories of friends, stories of chance and stories of loss. Hopefully you can find something in each one. There are robots, bookshops and trips into Space to name a few. If you survived the City then take a step outside and be sure to look at the stars on your travels.
