Alternitech

Front Cover
WordFire +ORM, Jul 1, 2011 - Fiction - 129 pages
New York Times–bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson presents a collection of parallel reality stories in this imaginative collection.
 
Alternitech is a company that sends prospectors into alternate but similar timelines where tiny differences yield significant changes: a world where the Beatles never broke up, or where Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t gunned down after the Kennedy assassination, where an accidental medical breakthrough offers the cure to a certain disease, where a struggling author really did write the great American novel, or where a freak accident reveals the existence of a serial killer.
 
Alternitech finds those differences—and profits from them.
