Eight astonishing stories of science fiction and fantasy. Stories of extraordinary people from Mars and the moons of Jupiter. Stories of disabled people and mutated, genetically altered people. Of people who face terrible threats and challenges but who never give up. A mysterious pod crashes into the fragile community of one isolated world. A belligerent overlord threatens ather. Here also are tales of extraordinary animals, half animals and fantastic creatures. Of talking alligators and magical birds. Humorous tales and touching tales. Half are reprints from publications such as the Aurora Award minated anthology Strange Bedfellows. The rest are original stories: three previously available as e-books, one never before published. They include Europa Spring, in print for the first time, formerly an Amazon short reads bestseller.
