How It Unfolds

The Far Reaches Collection

By: James S. A. Corey

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

An astronaut’s interstellar mission is a personal journey of a thousand second chances in an exhilarating short story by James S. A. Corey, the New York Times bestselling author of The Expanse series.

Roy Court and his crew are taking the trip of a lifetime—several lifetimes in fact—duplicated and dispatched across the galaxies searching for Earthlike planets. Many possibilities for the future. Yet for Roy, no matter how many of him there are, there’s still just one painful, unchangeable past. In what world can a broken relationship be reborn? The universe is so vast, there’s always room for hope.

James S. A. Corey’s How It Unfolds is part of The Far Reaches, a collection of science-fiction stories that stretch the imagination and open the heart. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

Love this story....

Wow, just amazing. I wish these guys would write faster! I would read anything they write.

Awesome idea with endless possibilities

I hope this one never ends! No idea how the science works but the premise of the story is fascinating.

Awesome short story.

Some of sci fi’s most important and thought provoking tales have been told as short stories. This is one such gem.

Cool concept but not a fan

Cool concept but not a fan.. I did not fully understand the scientific part of the sci-fi story since it probably wasn't the focus of the story, but the more personal aspect, but I didn't vibe with it in general

James S A Corey hits another one out of the park

I’m a big fan of the Expanse, this is the first I’ve read outside that, and it was great.
