Another Isis
Josephine Goodman
Seilya had a secret. She had left another name, another career, and what some people had deemed to be a major crime behind for a
quiet existence on Libra Outpost One — or so she thought. But some things about her past were secret even from her.
Endemic
J. R. Sherwin
Dr. Mooney and his staff had the answer for the never-ending problem of sexual assault, from almost consensual sex through
drug-assisted date rapes through to the most violent and even fatal attacks. Sure, it was a little drastic, but when a disease
becomes endemic, drastic measures are needed to keep things from getting even worse.

Channing
The charm Michael had purchased from the old voodoo woman was supposed to grant him his heart's desire. And Michael knew

Meet the Bartletts
Karen Yeo
Samantha and Bob Bartlett weren't used to having spaceships land in their neighbor's overgrown field, although Bob had

Miranda Solves the Case
Mary Brunini McArdle
Cece was to be a bridesmaid at her friend Marcia's wedding, and was suffering the usual wardrobe anxiety. But when Marcia was

cat Miranda had a few ideas about catching the killer…
Reintegration
Daniel C. Smith
Jameson Pierce had been called a hero, although all he had done was survive a battle that had left the rest of his unit dead. Then
he had been labelled a criminal, perhaps with even less justification, and had served a forty-year virtual sentence in two days. Now
he had to re-enter a world that hadn't really changed at all. But he was different…

Trouble on Gaq 7
Thomas Lee Joseph Smith
Dalton Diamond and Percy Falcon had just completed negotiations to establish trade between Earth and Gaq 7. That hadn't been
easy, when neither side had more than a rudimentary grasp of the other side's language and customs. Now they were heading home,
with Breet, a Gaq native chosen by his people as an emissary to Earth. That is, if they could get Breet into the ship without killing
him… and how hard could that be?
