Worlds of Fantasy and Wonder
20,000 light-years from Earth, an anthropologist explores the legends of a forgotten colony.
The night before the world’s end, two old lovers seek reconciliation and healing.
An ordinary man is dragged into a land of swords and sorcery, where he is gifted with the powers of a god…or a demon.
In the midst of the Cold War, two high-flying heroes wrestle with duty, prejudice, and the hidden truths of their own lives.
Distant Realms collects 13 works of speculative fiction by Chris Lester, creator of the award-winning Metamor City story universe. These stories cross worlds as diverse and broad as imagination itself, from the far future to ancient woods where forbidden gods still hold sway. Here are tales of science fiction, fantasy, and cosmic horror, of heroism and rebellion, of loves lost and found…but above all, tales of humanity and hope.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 5
Thirteen hundred years ago, the conquering wizard, Nasoj, cast three great spells on the people of Metamor Keep. Fueled by the power of the dark gods, these spells would irrevocably change the castle's defenders in body and soul, rendering them helpless against his advancing armies. Things did not work out as he hoped. The spells were countered, but only partially. They wove together with the castle's own magic, becoming a curse that blanketed the entire valley.

My ex-husband broke my heart by asking for an open marriage. Then I found out he had already been sleeping with someone else. So I dumped his butt and moved out. In the process, I found myself in the arms of four smoking-hot strangers. They pull out all the stops, lavishing me with all of the attention I’d been missing out on. But these guys have a secret. Am I going to be able to cope with the truth when it comes out, or is it going to be too much to bear?

Life was barely manageable after my mom was murdered three years ago. I wasn’t sure what my purpose was anymore. But then on my 21st birthday, I drank a little too much and fell from the roof of my nine-story apartment building. I died. Then...I un-died. Enter Hayden, my really bossy (and hot) guardian angel whose duty is to train me to be the next “Soldier of Light.” I’m pretty sure I’m the wrong person for this job, despite what Hayden thinks. Guess I’m stuck saving the dead.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 138
I'd known my fair share of tragedy in the last year. Lost my family, abandoned by my friends... things were looking down. Imagine my surprise when I get ripped out of my own reality and forcibly enrolled in a magic school nestled between the seams of the multiverse. My new purpose? Defend all of creation against the Outer Gods and keep from dying at the hands of the Void Things. But there's something nefarious about my headmistress... something I don't trust. At least I'm not alone anymore.

I don't have time for mysterious strangers. Even the really hot ones. I met him in a bar the night before I left to move across the country - and I never expected to see him again. But then he followed me.... It would be creepy if he was just a stalker - but he’s not. He’s a protector, shielding me from a group of nutjobs who believe in dragons. He saved my life - but now it’s my turn. And apparently, the nutjobs aren’t wrong. Dragons are real. And I hold the key to saving them all.

They say love is like an explosion. But explosions haven't been so kind to Michael Wagner. Michael's given his life in service to the military. He had a plan - structure, discipline, focus. Thirty years in the Army before retirement. It only took one IED blast to change all of that, stealing his hearing and altering the course of his life forever. Joining some small-town support group? It's not going to change that. It's not going to give him back anything that he's lost...but maybe it's worth a shot, anyway.

A bright and shiny future, full of success to look forward to. He took the only thing I had going for me—my best friend, Rachel. Now that she’s gone, I have nothing left to lose. I will infiltrate his world. I will cradle his worthless heart in my hands. I will burn down his entire life and destroy everything he holds dear. I haven’t enrolled at Toussaint Academy to learn.

Excellent speculative fiction collection
If you enjoyed Chris’ Metamor City stories/podcast or the Drabblecast , you will also love these. There’s a satisfying variety of shorter and longer works. Some are on the verge of horror, some romance, and some ironic twists, but most are happyish endings with well developed and likable characters. Even some of the villains are relatable characters. Some memorable stories here that I have listened to more than once!

great collection of stories
In this collection of stories, Chris Lester demonstrates his versatility as an author. The wide range of genres represented here showcases the skill of this talented author. Whether a story is snarky, creepy, or steamy, you know it will also be creative and well-written. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these stories and know they will get many more listens in the future. I highly recommend this collection. If you are new to the author, this is a great introduction to his talent, as all of the stories are stand-alone. The introduction includes a summary of the inspiration and history of each story, which I found added depth to the experience. All around excellent work!

And now for something different
There is definitely a good variety of stories in this compilation, if there is one criticism I have it’s that the stories leave you wanting more.
The storytelling is reminiscent of some of Heinlein’s later works, the exploration of consciousness and identity is very thought provoking.
The author/narrator has a pleasing voice and inflection contributes to the stories.
