Man-Hunting Robot - Some Robots...

James Rosenquest

Man-Hunting Robot by James Rosenquest - One man alone on a planet of death. — A deadly robot made especially to pursue a human being. Was it just a cruel sport devised for some bloodthirsty pleasure? Built to Kill, Programmed to Chase—The Ultimate Predator Has No Mercy. 
James Rosenquest is not James Rosenquist, the famous American pop artist. When you search for James Rosenquest online, Google will try to convince you that you meant the other guy. Man-Hunting Robot was written by the lesser-known Rosenquest—the science fiction writer. 
James Rosenquest published just five sci-fi stories in 1959 and one more in 1960—and then disappeared from the literary scene. That’s the entirety of his known work.

You'll also find every character interview Dianne has ever written inside these pages. (Those of you who've encountered a few in the past know the ones I conduct are the best.) If you've never read one or you missed a few, then pick up a copy, sit back, and laugh while I interview Immortal Guardians and the loves of their lives for the network. Even Chris Reordon and Todd down at network headquarters get in on the action. 
 
 
 
I also interview Dianne and ply her with questions I thought you'd like to ask her. Throw in a couple of short stories, what inspired the Immortal Guardians series, and a brief Who Does What Now? list, and you're bound to enjoy it. 
 
 
 
Your friend, Sheldon (Immortal Guardian Richart's immensely competent Second)

Neptune's Fury

J. Clifton Slater

When a Legionary pushes the boundaries, he draws a crowd. Either to watch him collect a medal or collect lashes. And if it's really bad, an eighty-foot drop from Tarpeian Rock. 
 
 
 
Welcome to 261 B.C. 
 
 
 
There are anxious words to describe being in unfathomable trouble. A feeling of pressure, an emotion of being in over-your-head, and a sense of being smothered. 
 
 
 
Legion Centurion Alerio Sisera was drowning in the sea and experiencing all of them. 
 
 
 
From black, to gray, to green water overhead, Alerio transitioned through the ocean layers as he swam upward. Lungs screaming for air, and his chest heaving, his body threatened to take in a breath. It became a competition between the urges of his lungs and the control of his mind. 
 
 
 
Then, the green filtered sunlight was blotted out. Given any air in his lungs, Alerio would have swum away from the keel of the enemy warship. But the competition for his body was in the final stages. His options were to surface and breathe or, to die. 
 
 
 
Some depths are not water but intrigue. Both can overwhelm, suffocate, and drown the average man. For Alerio Sisera, he'll need his gladius, several magnitudes of audacity, and his wits to survive Neptune's fury.
