A collection of previously unpublished science fiction short stories gathered into a single anthology for the first time. Jason Russell, published novelist and magazine editor has gathered together 5 of his favorite tales of science fiction and suspense originally written to appear in some of the leading science fiction publications the world over.

A Night Without Stars

Privately backed biologist/ researcher Kevin Westwood is all too aware of the fact that his theories linking extraterrestrial life with earthen microbes is failing to warrant continued funding.

Capitalizing on his desperation a former colleague presents Westwood with the chance of a lifetime: hands on experience with what is believed to be a UFO retrieved from the Pacific Ocean after a fiery crash.

Professional conman Leon Dunn is presented with an equally lucrative opportunity in securing the ancient alien craft from the South American guerrilla forces responsible for recovering the object.

A powerful corporation with a penchant for bullying-tactics finds itself in a position to reverse-engineer technology from the other-worldly craft and with the budget to pay for whatever it takes to do so- including securing the services of Westwood and Dunn all the while facing the relentless vengeance of a woman convinced she was the target of a failed contracted-murder.

All involved discover that their ambitions are irrelevant once the UFO in question reveals itself as sentient being that has visited Earth countless times throughout the ages.

The Long Way Home

Angus M Hadley is on route to seek vengeance in his hometown against the man who raped and murdered his wife. As is so often the case with journeys fueled by emotion, a lack of planning while crossing the desert results in his near demise to the relentless dry heat before completing his task.

A chance encounter with a tribe of indigenous desert dwellers leads to his being accompanied by a young child with the uncanny ability to control the very flow of time itself.

Minuette

1978 is a year Albert Reins III will never forget. Working at a nursing home just after high school graduation, the mundane routine of caring for the elderly is shattered when a young comatose girl named Minuette is taken in.

Bed-ridden and completely unconscious, it doesn't take long for the other residents of the home to begin reporting visitations from the little girl in the night.

From skeptically investigating the stories to becoming a part of the encounter himself; Albert Reins' own sanity hangs within the balance of doing what is right and helping a tragic victim of interdimensional travel.

Neither Here Nor There

For one enlistee in the United States Navy, Albert Einstein's Unified Field Theory will rewrite the very definition of existence in the physical world.

Known internally as Project Rainbow, attempts within a Philadelphia shipyard in 1944 to develop teleportation result in anomalies the military and American history wont soon forget.

Porcupine's Dilemma

The advent of artificial intelligence happens upon one man, Arthur Andrews, who finds himself a stranger in a strange land on a mission to procure a prototype computer chip for a domestic tech giant.

When multiple attempts on Andrews' life fail; an alien visitor to our world must intervene before the process of cybernetic evolution undoes the very fate of humanity.
