“I didn't really like the majority of the stories in this book. I think my favorite story was Gallows by Desmond Astaire. I am not one for time travel stories but I feel like this story was written by someone who also doesn't like time travel stories. It was great. A Word of Power by David Farland was short and catchy. I really liked the world building in Lilt of a Lark by Michael Panter. It was a really good fantasy story that I would not mind reading more about. Agatha's Monster by Azure Arthur was really good. I really liked the main character and the story was very real even with the unreal elements.”

About L. Ron Hubbard
With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.
Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert (1920–1986) was a reporter and editor on a number of newspapers before becoming a full-time writer. Although he had been publishing short fiction in various SF magazines since 1952, he became an “overnight” success in 1956 with his first novel, The Dragon in the Sea, which was serialized as Under Pressure in John W. Campbell’s Astounding Science Fiction magazine.
Frank Herbert’s career took a major turn with the 1963 publication (also in Astounding) of the first Dune story. After that, the Dune series became world famous, sparking both a major motion picture adaptation by David Lynch and two miniseries on the Sci-Fi Channel. Other seminal works include The Dosadi Experiment, The White Plague, Hellstrom’s Hive and Destination: Void.
Frank Herbert was an uncompromising advocate for the solid storytelling principles and rigorous research that are a core SF tradition. He served as a Writers of the Future judge from 1985 until his death. The last essay Frank Herbert ever wrote was for the Contest, with the clear purpose of fulfilling what he saw as a paramount obligation to his art and craft.
