Description
* An alien scouting mission takes a twist when two “specimens” are brought on board. * Two transit cops are stuck on a train bound for disaster. * Bobby McCoy wants to be the top freight driver on the moon. * It was a simple time mission, but Chuck wanted to even an old score. * When Timothy O’Brian’s own wife double-crossed him, he was headed for prison and torture. * Andy was an odd boy, but he had one talent. * Which life is a dream and which is reality? * Jenny was a space ship nearing Neptune and Mike her only “crew”. Can love come of such a match? * Hatch had enough problems fighting Rebs without the addition of a blue alien in his HQ. Plus six other exciting stories.
Couldn't put it down
I had the job of producing this work. Al Philipson did a great job of finding and editing these stories. Not a pill in the bunch.
But this created a problem for me. I'm supposed to do a final edit on stuff we publish, then convert it into several eBook formats. And I'm supposed to do it as quickly as I can (after all, the boss doesn't want me goofing off on the job).
Wellllll, I had a problem. I spent entirely too much time reading the stories (I'm a SF junkie) instead of doing my job. Kinda got me in trouble with my boss.
So, I'll issue a warning to other SF junkies: Don't try to read this when you're supposed to be working. You'll get lost in the stories and probably get caught by YOUR boss.
