The Grey Void
Gareth D Jones
The Orpheus had reported evidence of some form of intelligent life inside the event horizon of a black hole. Now
the Overture, equipped with the new Simulogue Instantaneous Communication System, was being dispatched to speed up the process
of gathering and delivering data to meet the insatiable appetites of the scientific community back on Earth… but would the new
ship and its crew be up to the challenge?
The Saints That Burnt
Crosses Matt Thomas
He's new at his job, so new that Lucy has to lend a hand — something she loathes. Taking the souls and lives of sinners

Steve Zocchi

George J. Condon
Walter Orwell was surprised when the Animal Liberation Legion broke into his lab, waving a pistol and demanding that all the
lab's animals be set free. But not as surprised as the intruders were when they met Eric and Spike, Walter's…
subjects.
The Eyes of the Storm
Neil Carstairs
The landing had gone well enough, but the storm had taken them surprise, devouring most of the crew like a living — and
hungry — thing. Now the few left alive huddle in a survival igloo, separated from the storm nothing more than a few layers of
tough fabric and insulation — and separated from their ship by the storm.
The Wendels
R. S. Ramdial
The Doughertys thought that their neighbors, the Wendels, were — strange. They could never have guessed how strange the
Wendels really were.
