  The preparations are complete and the chess pieces have been placed on the board. Ivan Susanin and the other players are returning to the Celestial City of Sar, the destroyed goblin capital, in the final battle for the Altar and the legacy of the Great Y. These events will decide whether Earth survives this war or becomes yet another world ground down by the System. Defeat is unacceptable, but the chance of victory is slim. 
   
   
   
  Although the goblins are vulnerable to firearms, the undead hordes know no fear and seem endless, unlike the store of ammunition. There are deserters among the Earthlings, while emissaries of foreign gods force their way through the thinning barrier. 
   
   
   
  The allies must act quickly, but the mutual trust is gone. After all, only one god can gain the power of the Great Y and become the head of the Pantheon. Ivan has his own thoughts on the matter. The beacon he had once placed in the center of the city still works. The alliance he is part of imposes certain obligations, but also allows him to act as he sees fit. It is a chance to reach the temple first and make a Choice. For the sake of humanity and for his own benefit.

  Can a spaceship go crazy? Well, yes it can if it has a brain. And the new MG (magnetogravitic drive) experimental robot space ship does indeed have a 'brain'. Completely bewildered as to why the first six models of their supposedly perfect new ship model, the MG-YR, nicknamed the McGuire, have gone totally bonkers after activation and before they could ever be used, the company has called in the services of Daniel Oak. They suspect sabotage of course. Daniel Oak is the hard boiled private investigator with nerves of steel and a mind of the same substance. He is extremely expensive to hire but gets results; and he knows his way around crime, space ships and especially women. What he finds out is surprising!

  “There’s Always a Loophole.” 
  Months after the Ahedrian murders, Emery Luple’s back in Seattle living his normal life. Which is anything but normal. As an incarnate—an urban legend come to life—his day job is to debunk the very existence of his kind to keep them safe from the world at large. 
  So when he’s contacted to debunk a legend about a gateway to the underworld in a local cemetery, Emery never stops to consider he might be in over his head. He’s more concerned with trying to keep date night plans with Caden while contending with the return of ancient enemies, his own unpredictable powers, and incarnate abductions. 
  But people start dying, and Emery and those he loves are in danger. As events begin to snowball out of control, he realizes he’ll need to find a solution—or at least a loophole—to save Caden and himself from horrible deaths.

  Lantern Keeper's Flickering...

  Through the fogbound marshes of Mistmoor, where lantern keepers tend flickering beacons against the encroaching dark and shadow weavers craft cloaks from woven night, tender Elara warms to weaver Noct, whose shadows conceal a longing for light's embrace. Their flame, lit in wick vows and mist-kissed threads, illuminates the marshes—or extinguishes in smothering gloom. As they tread lantern-lit paths and shadow-laced bogs, veiled by fog wraiths and light rivals, Elara's tender glow fuses with Noct's weaver depth, unveiling a fogbound legend of flickering union. When a dim wick summons marsh phantoms, they must kindle the flame to pierce the mist. In the flicker of lantern flames, where every wick burns with hope and every shadow yearns for dawn, their warm bond becomes the light that banishes the endless fog.

  The Scientific Pioneer - When...

  Nelson S. Bond

  The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S. Bond is a clever and heartfelt story that captures the spirit of discovery—and the price that sometimes comes with it. First published in the golden age of science fiction, it tells of a man whose brilliant ideas and tireless curiosity push him to the edge of what science can explain. Bond balances humor and humility as he explores how genius can both uplift and isolate. It’s a story that feels as relevant today as it did decades ago—a reminder that progress often depends on dreamers willing to risk everything for an idea. 
  Like many of Bond’s works, The Scientific Pioneer blends imagination with warmth. His characters aren’t distant heroes or villains but ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. Beneath the scientific speculation lies a deep respect for human creativity—the kind that builds rockets, invents machines, or simply dares to ask “what if?” 
  Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author whose lively imagination helped shape early pulp and magazine science fiction. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he began his career as a journalist before becoming one of the most prolific short story writers of the 1930s and 1940s. His tales appeared in Amazing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, and Blue Book, often featuring humor, irony, and unexpected twists. 
  Bond was best known for his Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman series, which combined scientific ingenuity with playful comedy. Beyond science fiction, he wrote mysteries, fantasies, and radio and television scripts, proving equally adept in every medium he touched. Though he later turned to other work, his early stories remain bright examples of pulp-era storytelling—energetic, human, and filled with wonder at what the future might hold.
