The Man Who Made No Mistakes

What if you had the power to rewind time? Make a scene in a restaurant, give your boss the finger, rob a bank just to see how it feels — you could satisfy any whim, fulfill any desire, make any wish you'd ever had come true. The man who wanders into Father Holder's Las Vegas confessional says he has just such a power. The ultimate in wish fulfillment, he calls it. And if something goes wrong? No problem. He just rewinds. He's the man who never makes mistakes.

Until, in a moment of weakness, he succumbs to the darkest impulse he's ever had — and can't find a way to undo it.

This remarkable tale leads off Scott William Carter's latest short story collection. A dragon addicted to eating humans, a robot on a devastated planet with a spellbinding story to tell, Abraham Lincoln in a world of one-eyed dragons and drafty castles — hopping across time and space, genre and style, Carter offers up eleven provocative tales that are sure to please his growing number of fans as well as win him new ones.
