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.

A sci-fi romance with clones and long distance space travel. I wish it was a little bit longer but otherwise I liked it.

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

Awesome short story.

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

Such a compelling story, hard to believe it’s only an hour long. Well performed. Really wish James SA Corey revisits this world at some point in the future.

Bravo!

A good reader, a good story, combine to be something better than the individual parts. A wonderful and satisfying piece.

Great concluding minutes bring a slightly discontinuous story into focus. Delightful!

This story needs to have a better back story in the beginning! But overall it has been enjoyable.
