Duncan Long (author of Antigrav Unlimited, the Night Stalkers series, Spider Worlds trilogy, and Lesser Gods) brings the reader nine beautifully crafted short stories, each unique and entertaining. The tales span genres from science fiction to fantasy to horror, often with stops in uncharted territory.
"Spider B Gone" delivers a tale of scientific pest control gone awry (with surprising results); "The Resurrectionist" shows what happens when a husband attempts to raise his wife from the dead.
"Lightning War" brings a chilling tale of intergalactic wars that are waged in a matter of milliseconds.
Other stories tell of a future run by Artificial Intelligence machines where human beings only "work" at their hobbies, the downside to eternal life, a future dilemma between medical ethics and the needs of an alien patient, and what happens when a spaceman makes a bet against Death.
There's even an alternate history where the Cold War went hot and a moving story of heroism during the Vietnam War.
Each story delivers unexpected twists with a pleasant surprise at the end. These are must-read stories that amuse, amaze, and sometimes terrify.
Genre: Thriller
