Bleach
David Brookes
When the government had a mess too big and nasty for anybody else to clean up, they called in Mel Dulton.
Cold Spot
Jeani Rector
Troop wasn't really running away — he just wanted to remind people that he was still alive (unlike his little sister),
and his 10th birthday was only days away. But the woods were a lot scarier than he had expected…
From The Very Face of the
Earth…
J. B. Hogan

Nora B.

The Season Without Sun
James Lecky
In a world of endless winter, the Amjak people had to fight to survive. Their enemies: the cold, the scarcity of game — and
the brutally warlike Dajzyn.
The Sweet Loop Incident
Kim Rush
On Throaten, Matts made the innocent mistake of eating what he thought was a stray bit of his favorite cereal. The results were
noisy and noisome — and made him very popular with the Throatorian men.
When the Gods Fall
John
Hickman
The fifth mission to the planet of insect-like sentients was supposed to monitor the effects of earlier efforts to advance the
bug-like natives' civilization. But they discovered that the 'gods' planted by the previous expedition had not had the
desired effect…
