A Matter of Trust
Robert Moriyama
The Morningstar has penetrated the defences of the Conlegium Magistris itself, seriously injuring the College's Master
of Combat Magic in the process. It seems that Al Majius and his allies must prepare for a final battle against their godlike foe
— until Janine Majius suggests an alternative.
Cat's Eye Jeani Rector
She was a nobody, all but invisible to the world. But seeing the cat, with the impossible-to-ignore gaping hole where an eye had
been, suggested a solution to her problem.

Mary Brunini McArdle
The chance to do some serious research and make a little more money was irresistible. A bizarre murder mystery and an unexpected

Girl Facing Village
Lee Alon
The world had changed radically with the spreading of Societal Order as the central pillar of the justice system. The Good People

The shaman Oota Dabun has seen the future, and it is a dark one. Now he must take young Yuma on a journey through time to prepare

Still Under Warranty
Arnold Emmanuel
Henry Willingsworth loved Beth, his girlfriend, with all his heart. Even when her hand fell off and he couldn't get it to lock
back into place, he couldn't imagine trading her in…
The Periambulant Oracle
Frederick Rustam The Oracle was the most sophisticated Artificial Intelligence ever created — so much so that it
needed to directly experience the world it helped to govern instead of seeing it only as data from other systems. Journalist
Tom Topping thus found himself helping the Oracle go walkabout …
The Superior Species Walt
Trizna
The discovery of perfectly preserved specimens of Homo neandertalis created opportunities for great scientific advances.
For example, one could clone a species that wasn't quite human. But the experiment would also reveal other things, things
that no one wanted to know.
