Book 3 of 6: New-Classic Sci-Fi Short Stories
 
Twenty-plus sci-fi stories from the lighter side, many of them illustrated.
More from the lighter, laughing side than the dark-dungeoned depths; but they’re all here somewhere, from a satisfied smile; or shed a tear.
Maybe a “Yes! Get in there”. Or catch your breath at the trials that some have to face.
From crackling two-pagers where someone hasn’t quite read the situation right, to sixty-plus sides chronicling what you really have to do if you want to survive on this planet.
Tales of here and now, wondering what’s among us; or what awaits us amid the distant futures and far-strewn arms of the galaxy.
The stories you’ve dreamed of; the people you crave to meet; or would love to be.
The aliens who’ll make you shiver, or laugh.
The huge risks of guiding your spacecraft here, or there.
The adventures you’d have if only you had the nerve…
Or the utter romance of doing that… and in null-grav, too
The humour of orbital disasters and alien conflicts; the perils of ill-advised time-interference.
The terrors of a leaky hull; the fear of a bullying boss when you’re a thousand light years beyond.
The choices you face in the big, black Vac.
