Author Introduction

Richard's passion for writing has always been there since he was a child and has never wavered. No matter the obstacles presented, he has always made to write. The best way he describes it, is that it’s as natural as breathing.

Science fiction is Richard's preferred genre because it is so versatile and always includes other genres with aspects of horror, thriller, adventure and romance. Also, it makes you think about what could be and if it’s a foreseeable outcome for us.

Blurb

This is a collection of science fiction tales that will take you across the cosmos of existence. Each one is a glimpse into events that have yet to happen or have happened in another timeline. Every event is archived within the walls of the space station Catographer's Vault.

Follow Ashra Whistlo as she leads a team to rediscover this station that has been lost to time for over a millennium but heed the warning that she is given from The Curator: Do not lose your grasp on what is your reality. You will be presented with real people and real existences within this room. Their emotions will be palpable as if they were yours. You must detach yourself from their reality and remember that it isn’t yours.

My Opinion

Normally, I don't read science fiction, but short stories have always been my weakness. The Cartographer's Vault by Richard Houlden is a really enjoyable collection of stories from future. Each story has a different vibe with lots of adventure and action. If you are looking for a book to finish within a day, then it is definitely for you. Definitely 4 stars for the book, and, thanks to the author for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
