Those Alien Skies by Clayton Graham

A wildly imaginative collection of cosmic tales, Those Alien Skies by Clayton Graham is an ominous but entertaining vision of humanity’s future. A planet-leaping mission to confront a corrupted mentor, a search for missing children on an uncharted alien world, and a tense standoff against extraterrestrial masters of illusion, this tangled trio of novellas is alight with tension, drama, and ingenuity. From murderous impersonations and desperate lunar escapes to multi-universal spies, human hybrids, and secret peacekeeping incursions, these vibrantly spun stories are as immersive as they are unique, highlighted by meticulous detail and palpable emotional stakes. Extrapolating a wild future for our own planet and expanding outwards with relentless creativity and stellar world-building, Graham affirms his place as a radically strong voice in modern sci-fi.
