With complete bonus story, “Worlds Apart…And Time.”
“Rusch creates a near-future which is horrifying in its plausibility, especially the no-supermen element, and the characters are so immediate; I finished this with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, and I suspect it would hit parents even harder. This is really powerful, and really strong.”
—Libris Leonis
“A heartwarming and heartbreaking story of the prices a child and their parents make when radical technology is thrust upon a young girl.”
—Functional Nerds
