Midnight Trains
A Faerie Justice Story
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
An American in Paris, Alex faces Christmas alone—alone and lonely. Hopelessly lonely. He wanders the streets and train stations searching—for something, for someone, for hope.
Until Christmas Eve, when he meets a strange woman in an abandoned Metro station. A woman seemingly out of time. She both unnerves him and compels him. And if he decides to trust her, they might just succeed in freeing each other once and for all.

Fiction River: Past Crime
(Kobo Special Edition)
Edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Laws change from culture to culture, decade to decade. Strange laws make criminals of ordinary citizens. Like the Massachusetts woman whose brother asks her for help, slave hunters at his heels. Or the little Irish girl who needs to protect a priest from a different kind of hunter. Or the Native American detective searching New York’s Stonewall Bar for a ratfink on the night of a world-changing riot. These stories and more prove that once again, Fiction River’s crime volumes have, in the words of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, “high quality throughout.”

Uncertainty
Kristine Kathryn Rusch
December 1944: Moe Berg, former major league baseball catcher and now spy for the Office of Strategic Services, finds himself on a mission that would make him something he never thought he’d be: assassin. Specifically, assassin of Werner Heisenberg, whose work could lead Germany to an atomic bomb.
Leah Hammerschmidt, an agent for a future version of the OSS, witnesses Berg’s assassination attempt. She finishes the job Berg failed to complete, and meets a compelling stranger in the process. But when she returns to her own time, she realizes everything has changed. Now, the future seems more uncertain than ever. And she alone might hold the key to resetting the timeline.
A finalist for the Sidewise Award for the Best Short-Form Alternate History, “Uncertainty” offers a thrilling tale of spy craft that stretches morality not only into the future but also into the past.
“…a fun story and one of the few that respects the time travel genre without needing to get bogged down in the theoretical science behind it.”
