The individual scenarios are:[1]

  • Petiel – Earth with less mass
  • Urania – Earth's axis tilted like that of Uranus
  • Granstar – More massive Sun

  • Cerberon – Star passing through the Solar System
  • Diablo – Black hole passing through the Earth
  • Seeing the world via infrared

Reception edit

Reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus said that the first several stories were interesting, but noted that the conceit grew repetitive.[2][3]
