From the offbeat imagination of one of America's most prolific writers comes a selection of tales true, false, and in that dream state in-between, including . . .
- Happy Anniversary, Uncle Roswell. An alien who crash lands in Roswell survives. But will he live to regret it?
- The Devil and Daniel Wexler. The devil offers Daniel a choice between keeping his own miseries-or trading them in for the woes of everyone else in the world.
- The Lampreys of Innsmouth. A famous man's desperate gambit to avoid a horrific metamorphosis that his genes threaten to trigger.
- What Does Not Break Us. A doctor fears losing in a major malpractice case against him. But the consequences and danger go way beyond money and legal liability.
- Deadman. For Halpern, a CPA with a gambling addiction, being murdered was merely the beginning of his trial by purple fire.
Transitioning seamlessly into the realm of “Science Fact,” this anthology delves into the intriguing intersection of reality and speculative ideas. In the style of esteemed writers such as Isaac Asimov, Bly, known for his keen insights, offers thought-provoking snippets and explorations of scientific concepts that blur the line between the known and the imagined.
But it's in the enigmatic “Landscapes in Between” where Bly truly showcases his mastery. Here, he unveils fragments of stories — tantalizing glimpses into worlds yet to be fully realized. These snippets and story ideas serve as seeds of inspiration, beckoning readers to cultivate their own imaginative landscapes and complete the narratives in their minds.
Machine Learnings is an anthology unlike any other, a treasure trove of weird and strange tales that transport you across boundaries and challenge your perceptions. Whether you're a devoted fan of speculative fiction, a science enthusiast, or an explorer of the uncanny, this collection promises to enthrall, entertain, and expand the horizons of your mind. Join Robert W. Bly on an odyssey through the realms of possibility and let your imagination soar.
In this new collection, you can embark on a fascinating and fantastic journey of adventure through worlds of science fiction, science, and extraordinary landscapes. Machine Learning takes you into the weird and wonderful, with a mosaic of narratives that defy convention as much as they spark the imagination.
READERS PRAISE ROBERT W. BLY’S PREVIOUS SCI-FI BOOKS
Bob’s stories are imaginative, well-structured and delightful fun. They are full of engaging people facing strange challenges that resolve themselves surprisingly and well. —Michael MastersonBob Bly’s stories engage the reader from the first sen- tence. From mainstream to science fiction and everything in-between, these stories explore contemporary themes with sensitivity and often a great deal of humor. —Mark Smallwood
Bob Bly [can] write great science fiction. In the tradition of Asimov, Bradbury, and others, these aren’t just stories about a world that isn’t. They’re big ideas wrapped in tight, funny tales. —Jack T.
The stories are all unique, clever and quite interesting, ranging from an encounter between Van Helsing and Dracula to how rubber bands multiply and devour paper clips. While written somewhat tongue in cheek, Bly’s stories not only make you laugh, but they also make you think. —C.P.
