Nine to Eternity: A Science Fiction Anthology (Unabridged‪)‬

Nine to Eternity: A Science Fiction Anthology began when editor M. Christian invited the authors to submit “a personal favorite story: one that - also, sadly - didn't get the love they'd put into it”, And so Ernest Hogan, Emily Devenport, Cynthia Ward, and Arthur Byron Cover have been joined by Ralph Greco, Jr., David Lee Summers, Jean Marie Stine, and Jody Scott, as well as M. Christian himself, to make a memorable listening experience. 

Full of endearing characters, vivid worlds, and thrilling adventures, this anthology is also a touching examination of what these celebrated authors consider their best work.
