Of Other Times and Spaces

The Giant Anthology of thirty-nine highly entertaining and thought-provoking Sci-Fi stories.

• More from the lighter, laughing side than the dark-dungeoned depths; but they’re all here somewhere, from a satisfied smile; or shed a tear.
• Maybe a “Yes! Get in there”. Or catch your breath at the trials that some have to face.

• Tales of here and now, wondering what’s among us; or what awaits us amid the distant futures and far-strewn arms of the galaxy.
• The stories you’ve dreamed of; the people you crave to meet; or would love to be.
• The aliens who’ll make you shiver, or laugh.
• The huge risks of guiding your spacecraft here, or there.
• The adventures you’d have if only you had the nerve…
• Or the utter romance of doing that… and in null-grav, too
• The humour of orbital disasters and alien conflicts; the perils of ill-advised time-interference.
• The terrors of a leaky hull; the fear of a bullying boss when you’re a thousand light years beyond.
• The choices you face in the big, black Vac.

“The best and most varied stories in the universe”, according to eleven alien species and the author’s mum. this is Sci-Fi to beat the rest.

• From snappy three-pagers such as “Air Sacs and Frilly Bits”, and “On the Seventh’s Day”.
• From the laughs of “I’m a Squumaid” to the vengeance of “Cats, Cucumbers and Cabba-gunkins”.

• Dare you go to watch the Scurrugs on the planet Peris, fighting anything and everything at night?
• Think you wouldn’t shed a tear for the spacewreck survivors in “The Twelve Days of Crystal-Ammas”?
