A TRUE Ghost Story
Chris
Sharp
Billy's mom treated him like a kid, mostly because he deserved it. But Chris knew that Billy had problems other than
immaturity.
Black Box Betty
Frederick
Rustam
The 'betty' was one of a kind — a hardware/software/firmware intelligent search interface with the emphasis on
'intelligent'.
Inside Out
E. S. Strout
The first mission to Sagittarius-A had gone silent for reasons unknown. So Major Judith Saul was taking backup with her — an
A.I. package implanted in her brain.
Kill Fee
Jonathan Lowe
Mark and Eddie had stumbled onto some hot news. A message from space had been received, warning of a cosmic event that might
— maybe — drastically affect the whole world. They had only one question — how much would the powers that be pay to
keep them quiet?
Meltdown
Vincent L. Scarsella
They were going to shut down the warehouse and thaw and cremate the cryogenically preserved bodies rescued from dozens of failed
cold sleep businesses. To most of the attendants, that meant unemployment. Dave's objections to the shutdown were somewhat more
personal…
Reflective Glass
Richard
Tornello
Richard found that there was something very special about the glass he purchased from the shop around the corner from his
laundromat. For one thing, the reflections didn't always match reality…
The CCP
Gerry Sonnenschein
Mir Station Three had all the characteristics of a small town on Earth, including cliques and Coddled Cooks marketing parties.
Neither was much fun if you were an outsider.
The Face Overhead
Mary Brunini
McArdle
The Face appeared in the skies demanding obedience — and silence. Disobedience meant fiery death from above. But that
didn't stop a few brave men and women from striving to save the world, no matter the cost.

The House
Neil J. Beynon
The house Stevie's parents had purchased was old, and far from Stevie's school and all his friends. But that wasn't
what had him screaming in the night.
The Missing Bag
J. Alan
Brown
Had the little aliens planted a bomb somewhere in the Houston International Air-and-Space Port? Morgan Jefferson couldn't
ignore the possibility, not after the April Fools' Day disaster.
The Ouroboros
S. H. Hughes
What goes around, comes around. And Ouroboros agent Hayden Cross will do whatever it takes to make sure that it does.
The Redoubt
Gareth L. Powell
Scott and Anna were offered the chance to spend eternity exploring the farthest reaches of time and space. And it would cost them
nothing — or everything that mattered.
The Sorcerer from Sand
Creek
McCamy Taylor
After the War Between the States, the remnants of the North's most closely guarded secret weapon — the Secret Service
Sorcery Society — had to make a few adjustments in their lives.
Three Oranges
Joel Doonan
The Red Moon Race pitted sand skiffs against each other on a gruelling trip across the desert for glory and for the Three Oranges
trophy. The crew of the Wild Orchid hoped they had what it would take to win.
Vishnu's Beer
Garden
McCamy Taylor
Danny Radusson thought his twin brother had all the luck in the family. Then Virgil, proprietor of Vishnu's Beer Garden,
showed him a whole new way of seeing the world.
Voyages of the Earthship
Horus: Gangsters
Michael Joseph
Plato Zhoth and the crew of the Horus just wanted to make a living. Unfortunately, the universe insisted on confronting
them with things that needed fixing — BIG things.
