Alaska Wild by Helena Newbury5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() I can’t resist this man, not when he looks at me as if he wants to push me up against the nearest tree and tear my clothes off…. Staying alive means staying close: but every time he touches me, I melt inside. I’m a FBI agent and he’s a prisoner, but to survive the wild animals, fierce weather and unforgiving terrain, I must put my faith in him. But when our plane crashes deep in the Alaskan wilderness, he becomes my only hope. He’s a loner, a mountain man who hasn’t spoken to another soul in years. He’s a fugitive, on his way to a court martial. Everyone’s got a different story about the gorgeous, silent man in chains. From the first moment I see Mason Boone, I can’t take my eyes off him. ![]()

Ishmael is impressed with the narrator's ability to distinguish this part of the story, but he pushes the narrator to continue: so why must man do this? What's the purpose of rising above the other animals? Ishmael has the narrator imagine an Earth without humans on it the narrator imagines a wild jungle and admits he'd be reluctant to live in such a world as he'd be at the mercy of fierce predators.

Through the Never by Eneasz Brodski - Humans can lie to themselves about reality. (Love the way our sarcasm works in this story. No Way This Could Go Wrong by Alex Pearl - Humans are sarcastic. ![]() The Sound of His Footsteps by Mariah Southworth - Humans are protective. New Union Requirement by Gwendolynn Thomas - Humans are inventive. Then There was Ginny by Sydney Seay - Humans are curious. Sidekick by Jody Lynn Nye - Humans are big. I liked the later stories better than the earlier stories, because the later stories get more unpredictable as they explore the more esoteric bits of being human - such as our ability to focus on unrelated minutia and procrastinate. I think reading one or two stories a night would be better than my swallowing the group whole. Some of the things humans do gets boring if you read these back-to-back - such as our obsession with touching. Nothing outstanding in the anthology but nothing dreadful either. The glorious, confusing, contradictory, loving, determined side of humanity in space and our relationships with other sentients. A pleasant group of science-fiction stories exploring the hope-filled side of humanity in space. I participated in the original Kickstarter to fund the anthology. ![]() |
