Antológia a Sötét anyag és a Wayward Pines szerzőjétől! Egy VR-játékfejlesztő egy kódolási hiba következtében létrehoz egy szuperintelligenciát. A távoli jövőben emberek kis kolóniája visszaküld a Földre egy katonát, ám a küldetés nem várt fordulatot vesz. Egy megtermékenyítéssel foglalkozó cég a főbb tulajdonságok befolyásolása mellett már különböző projekciókat is készít a szülőknek, hogy születendő gyermekük milyen életre számíthat. 2019-ben az Amazon felkérte Blake Crouchot, hogy állítson össze egy hat történetből álló sci-fi antológiát az Original Stories-sorozatuk keretében. Crouch ennek alkalmából írta meg Elhagyott part című kisregényét, valamint e mellett bemutat egy-egy izgalmas novellát a műfaj elmúlt időszakának legismertebb szerzőitől. A történetek közt egyaránt található klasszikusabb hangvételű, Philip K. Dicket felidéző írás és olyan realistább gondolatmenet is, ami akár már holnap megvalósulhat. N. K. Jemisin Szükségbőr című novelláját Hugo-díjjal tüntették ki 2020-ban, míg az Elhagyott partot várhatóan Neil Burger fogja filmre adaptálni.

Tizenöt évvel ezelőtt egy prófécia alapján öt átlagos kamasznak meg kellett küzdenie a legyőzhetetlennek tűnő Sötét Nagyúrral, aki Észak-Amerikában pusztítva teljes városokat tett a földdel egyenlővé, és emberek ezreivel végzett. A Kiválasztottak néven ismertté vált csapatnak csak minden erejét beleadva sikerült felülkerekednie rajta. Ezután az élet mindenki számára visszatért a normális kerékvágásba, kivéve a fiatalokat, akik világszerte ismert hírességekként, életcéljukat beteljesítve nem találták a helyüket. Közülük legnehezebben Sloane viselte a sorsát: a lány olyan titkokat rejteget, amelyek még attól a négy embertől is elidegenítik, akik a világon egyedüliként képesek megérteni őt. A Sötét Nagyúr felett aratott győzelem tizedik évfordulóján valami felfoghatatlan történik: az egyik Kiválasztott meghal. Amikor társai összegyűlnek a temetésére, rájönnek, hogy ellenségük végső célja sokkal nagyobb volt annál, amit ők, a kormányuk vagy akár a prófécia előre jelezhetett volna.
