Inside, you'll find...

Filtered Blue by Richard Mark Ankers The sole survivors of the nuclear war were the subjugated many who dwelt in underwater slums. One of their number braves the surface to figure out what went wrong.

Vagrants by Logan Garner A homeless man struggles to survive in a grim future, eating the structural slime that grows on the surface of the bridge under which he makes his home. Which will kill him first, the sludge that he eats or the thugs that control the local soup kitchen?

The Lathesia Link by David Humphrey A mining company hopes a nearby asteroid will be a source of valuable metals. The caving expert the send to explore its many caves finds that it hides a deadly secret.

Hoofer by Mark A. Rapp and S. Fitzgerald Clark If their new FTL drive works, it will change the course of human history. The lead engineer on the project hopes to finish it before he goes under the knife, the recipient of a cloned heart grown inside Gene, a pig.

A Bright Infinite Future by Michael Saad Civil unrest on a faraway planet is brought to the forefront of the Earth media through the efforts of one fearless reporter. Will her diligent reporting be enough to shift the tide in the El Fiesti fight for freedom?

Rational Control by Brandon Crilly Where do our ideas come from? Are humans naturally creative, or are we inspired by outside forces? What might happen if those forces pushed a little too hard?

The Girl in the Blue Dress by Adam Vine A mysterious stranger in a blue dress can be found in the crowds surrounding nearly every great disaster in human history. What is she doing, and what does she want?

Deal Gone Bad, Chapter 4 by Thad Kanupp With a long road ahead of them, Jack and Ray need a little help as they make their way towards Ornell. They stop to scavenge some spare parts to fix a new friend and get it up and running.
