Acerca de esta escucha
“Alternitech” 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.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Making a living reproducing famous artworks for a popular online retailer and desperate to improve her situation, Claire is lured into a Faustian bargain with Aiden Markel, a powerful gallery owner. She agrees to forge a painting - a Degas masterpiece stolen from the Gardner Museum - in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But when that very same long-missing Degas painting is delivered to Claire's studio, she begins to suspect that it may itself be a forgery. Her desperate search for the truth leads Claire into a labyrinth of deceit where secrets hidden since the late 19th century may be the only evidence that can now save her life.

Never a doubt. Never a mistake. Always for justice. Never for revenge. She's the person you hire when you need something fixed-permanently. With a strict set of criteria, she evaluates every request and chooses only a few. No more than one job per country, per year. She will only step in if it's clear that justice will not be served any other way. Her jobs are completed with skill and precision, and never result in inquiry or police investigation. The Fixer is invisible - and quite deadly.

It’s 1975, and the comic book industry is struggling, but Carmen Valdez doesn’t care. She’s an assistant at Triumph Comics, which doesn’t have the creative zeal of Marvel nor the buttoned-up efficiency of DC, but it doesn’t matter. Carmen is tantalizingly close to fulfilling her dream of writing a superhero book. That dream is nearly a reality when one of the Triumph writers enlists her help to create a new character, which they call “The Lethal Lynx”, Triumph's first female hero.

Young widow Penelope Thornton-McClure and her old Aunt Sadie are making ends meet by managing a mystery book shop - a quaint Rhode Island landmark rumored to be haunted. Pen may not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in good publicity - like nabbing Timothy Brennan for a book signing. But soon after the bestselling thriller writer reveals a secret about the store's link to a 1940s murder, he keels over dead - and right in the middle of the store's new community events space. Who gives Mrs. McClure the first clue that it was murder?

A killer is on the loose, blurring the line between fact and fiction. His prey - the writers of crime novels who have turned psychological profilers into the heroes of the nineties.

And for one woman, the desperate hunt to uncover his identity becomes a matter of life and death.

Too short, but other than that...
This is a collection of short stories that all take place in the same world. There are even occasional references to characters or events that happened in other stories, which is fun.
A company sends "prospectors" to alternate timelines which are similar but slightly different to the current one. They look for things that don't exist in the current world, such as a hit song the Beatles never recorded here or the cure for a disease that hasn't yet been discovered. Of course, all such findings become the property of the company, but still...
I really enjoyed the idea of going to a similar but different world.
This story is read by the incredible Starla Huchton. If this book doesn't appeal to you, go listen to anything she's recorded. You won't be sorry.

I loved each and every story in this collection...
This is a collection of short stories, each tale about the employees that work for Alternitech, a company that sends people to alternate timelines to discover new medical technologies, art, music or whatever useful, profitable things they can find, bring back, and copyright... (It's a little like the movie, Yesterday, if you saw that! You'll know what I mean.)
This collection of 5 stories is written by Kevin J Anderson, and they appear to have been a career mainstay, as they contain a theme that he has revisited throughout his writing stent. These were shorts that were sold to different SF zines, and now they've been collected in one book!
I loved listening to each and every story, and listening to Starla Huchton's narration is always plus in my book!
