Here are the synopses, listed in the order I received them!

Title, Author Synopsis
Deathless Carole Gill It is the year 2299. The Guardians – a hybrid species of aliens and humans guide mankind in a God-centered society. There is no death. Human citizens are vaccinated against old age and disease at birth. Requests for life termination are few. Albin 157 is told that his son has requested termination…
The Gardener Fergus Neff Argarrai is a retired space port manager. His successful life has been marred by the suspicious death of his wife and their younger daughter. Visited on his death bed by a stranger, he is given an intimidating proposition – to accept the responsibility of becoming the caretaker, the Gardener, for a universe – in reward all his questions will be answered but at what cost?
Gone But Not Forgotten J.F. Juzwik In a darkened alleyway, a woman is savagely murdered. A card containing fingerprints and a DNA profile is left behind in her blood. The hunt is on. In a world without prison walls, where executions are swift and indiscriminate, a killer hides in plain sight.
Transition Bill Kirton Everything’s so much better in the virtual world, so when the alienation of normal reality begins to scare him, Jez (or Gabriel, master of Glentyre, as he is in the online world of Alternative Dimension) decides to make the transition permanent. The consequences are not as he’d have wished.
Journey to Nowhere Fran Lewis Imagine coming home from work and realizing that your entire life is about to change. Imagine your wife and kids leaving with a total stranger and you had no warning as to why and where they are going? Imagine searching for them and finding yourself transported into different places, different times and yet the same date. Journey to Nowhere will take you into an entire different dimension of time and you will see things in a different way.
Life Sheila Deeth Being one of the first to walk on an alien planet isn’t quite living up to Jen’s high expectations. But when she looks for someone with time to talk to her, the consequences might be more than anyone expects.
Paradise Lost – Not! Fiona Linday I’d like to say my story is on the light side, not the dark. But it all depends on what you believe. On holiday in exotic Asia the Jones family get it all sorted. For them the outcome of the greatest act of God is very good. But unfortunately for others, this story is not so pretty.
End Day S.C. Hayden The great wars of the future are over, and society is reborn. Resources are limited, population growth is controlled, and early death is obligatory. In End Day, a lineman named John Hollis questions life in a society obsessed with dying.
