| The Grey VoidGareth 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
          CrossesMatt 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
          is a lousy, messy business, and even theveterans hate doing any more than their share…
 AntsSteve Zocchi
 For thousands of years, the human race has been wiping other species off the face of the planet. Maybe the new species of ants
          — huge, voracious, and prone to defend their own with terrifying efficiency — are Ma Nature's way of expressing Her
          annoyance. But while Humanity fights back, with fire and poison and ant-proof materials — one man is willing to live with the
          ants as neighbors. At least they are quiet.
 A Box on the SeashoreJoe Vadalma

          a box full of charms and potions, and everything changed…
 | Kuiper 6Eric Boermeester
 Kuiper 6, a mining station on a tiny moon orbiting Neptune, seemed like the perfect place for a fugitive to hide. But the
          Organized Nations of Earth marshal was willing to go a long way to catch a lawman gone bad.
 Cruelty to AnimalsGeorge 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 StormNeil 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 WendelsR. S. Ramdial
 The Doughertys thought that their neighbors, the Wendels, were — strange. They could never have guessed how strange the
          Wendels really were.
