A portal leading to an expanding universe where science fiction collides with reality, where the future includes a myriad of characters, and each story is as odd as the last. In this anthology, you're given the power to choose where you'll go and who you'll take with you! With this first collision, you can choose between five characters and settings to create twenty-five fictional possibilities. With stories from authors who write in wildly different genres, each story gives you a different experience. The only question you have to ask is, "How will you crash?"First Collision characters let you select from an Alien, Clown, Imaginary Friend, Kaiju, and a Robot Assassin. Settings to place them in are an Apocalyptic Wasteland, Evil Laboratory, Human Mind, the Ocean, and the Triassic.Featuring stories by Scott Beckman, J.M. Butler, J.A.
