  Cole Riker is a free man. 
  Or close enough. He no longer has the weight of his past hanging over him, threatening to put him away for the rest of his days. All it took was finding an unknown alien lifeform and agreeing to escort it back to its homeworld. 
  Except his newfound luck doesn’t want to last. Gray doesn’t remember how to get home, and all the evidence says his people abandoned him after an unknown threat came calling. 
  And that’s only the beginning. 
  After Cole and his misfit crew are forcibly ejected from a collapsing slip tunnel, they find themselves in a different galaxy with no hope of getting back. That is, until they find something unexpected. 
  One of Earth’s lost seed ships adrift in a sector that’s never been mapped. 
  There, they discover something even more impossible: survivors. 
  Getting back on track should be as easy as convincing the 2,000-year-old passengers to fire up the engines and set a course for the nearest star system, but there’s something insidious about the long lost seed ship. 
  It’s a little too perfect, and Cole will have to unearth more secrets before his chance to escape disappears completely. 
  Warning: This book contains action, cussing, and general badassery. Listen at your own risk.

  A desperate boy escapes his abusive home by joining a carnival and is drawn into a dark conspiracy in this tale by "a master storyteller" (Kurt Vonnegut). 
   
   
   
  Though only eight years old, little Horton "Horty" Bluett has known a lifetime of sadness. Tormented and abused by his adoptive family, he's had enough—and with a beloved broken toy he calls "Junky" as his sole companion, the desperate little boy runs away to join a carnival. There, among the fortune tellers, fire-eaters, sideshow freaks, and assorted "strange people," Horty hopes to find acceptance and, at long last, a real home. But disgraced doctor Pierre "Maneater" Monetre's traveling show is no ordinary entertainment, and its performers are not what they appear to be. The Maneater has sinister plans for the world that go far beyond fleecing unsuspecting rubes and other easy marks—a dark and terrible scheme that requires unleashing the extraterrestrial power of the dreaming jewels, and the unwitting assistance of a young boy who may be far more remarkable than he's ever imagined. 
   
   
   
  The full-length debut by Theodore Sturgeon, a legendary writer who won Nebula and Hugo Awards and authored such classics as More Than Human, this journey into a circus of shadows is "an intensely written and very moving novel of love and retribution" (The Washington Star).

  The Greedy Dog

  In a village lived a dog. He was a lovable but rather a greedy canine, always on the lookout for the next tasty morsel. His eyes would gleam with excitement at the mere scent of food, and he couldn't resist the allure of a delicious treat. 
  One sunny day, as it roamed the village in search of his next culinary adventure, he caught wind of a mouthwatering aroma wafting from a nearby butcher’s shop. Unable to resist the temptation, it followed his nose until he reached the source—a display of succulent meat, neatly arranged in the shop window. 
  Unable to contain his greed, it stood on his hind legs, his front paws resting against the window. His eyes fixated on the tantalizing array of meats, and his mouth watered at the sight. In a moment of pure impulsivity, it decided to snatch a large, juicy bone from the window display. It was a ham bone, and it was his favourite meat.

  In the Spring of 2019 Michael Kingswood decided to embark on a Great Challenge, coordinating with a long-term professional writer that he considers a mentor and committing to sending him a new story every Sunday.

  In the year from April 2019 through April 2020 he wrote at least one story per week, sometimes more than one. In celebration of that victory, SSN Storytelling presents this collection of 52 stories – one for each week of the year. 
  If you enjoy adventure, action, mystery, and stories with a sense of wonder, you will love these stories. Pick up Stories From The Great Challenge now. You won’t regret it.
