A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
I have always loved time travel stories...and it seems I’m not alone. The Time Travel Megapack proved to be one of the most popular volumes in the series, so we put our heads together (ouch!) and assembled a follow-up, with even more modern and classic takes on the time travel theme.
We actually had a few complaints about our very broad interpretation of “time travel” in the last book. We included the original “Buck Rogers” novel, Armageddon 2419 A.D., by Phillip Francis Nowlan, in which a contemporary man ends up hundreds of years in the future. (Who says time travel has to be a two-way street?) Others readers hated, hated, hated to the Feghoot stories...which still others praised as great fun and the best thing in the book!
Well, you can’t please everyone. Hopefully you can find something in this volume to enjoy. I certainly think we’ve come up with another winner.
Enjoy!

ABOUT THE MEGAPACKS
Over the last few years, our “Megapack” series of ebook anthologies has proved to be one of our most popular endeavors. (Maybe it helps that we sometimes offer them as premiums to our mailing list!) One question we keep getting asked is, “Who’s the editor?”
The Megapacks (except where specifically credited) are a group effort. Everyone at Wildside works on them. This i
ncludes John Betancourt, Carla Coupe, Steve Coupe, Bonner Menking, Colin Azariah-Kribbs, A.E. Warren, and many of Wildside’s authors…who often suggest stories to include (and not just their own!).

Do you know a great classic science fiction story, or have a favorite author whom you believe is perfect for the Megapack series? We’d love your suggestions! You can post them on our message board at http://movies.ning.com/forum (there is an area for Wildside Press comments).
Note: we only consider stories that have already been professionally published. This is not a market for new works.
