  My name is Alan Ashe, Third Sergeant, Fleet Marines, attached to CST-148 (Cyborg Support Team 148). 
   
   
   
  ... I was born on Sept. 2, 2324, in Washington State, Earth. 
   
   
   
  ... I died on Jan. 28, 2351, on the planet Insubri in the Pegasus Spur. 
   
   
   
  ... I was reborn on Feb. 17, 2351, at the Combined Allied Hospital at Cygnus Station on the planet Manados. 
   
   
   
  When Alan Ashe died and his surviving brain was implanted into a combat cyborg, he didn't think much about it. After all, he'd worked with cyborgs for years and knew how they operated. Sure, he'd have no memories of his past life, but what could he do about it . . . he was dead! 
   
   
   
  But something wasn't right. Alan still had his memories—all of them—including those of his death. Not only that, but the way the techs were rebuilding him was . . . different. 
   
   
   
  What does all this mean, especially in light of the devastating turn of events happening in the Azincor/Human war? These questions—and more—will be answered in The Last Cyborg Series.

  Bloody Nick Turnhouse is in fine fettle, a frigate captain and respected by those who know him. He has taken a ship twice to the Bight of Benin and survived both occasions, falling to none of the fevers. Unfortunately, this has made him one of the few naval captains with a close knowledge of the fatal shores and Their Lordships are inclined to see him as their sole expert in sailing waters that have previously only been familiar to slavers and the few Guineamen. 
   
   
   
  Returning from the Bight, Nick is currently in Spanish waters, seeking glory and prizes and uncertain which might be more important to a farm boy made good.

  Dragons were dying. All over the world, a curse was taking us out one by one, and nobody knew how to stop it. I watched my mother burn, I watched my little brother fall sick. That's when Robby practically falls into my lap, with his big brown eyes and charming smile and his penchant for being hunted by vampires. After saving him twice from certain death, we soon come to realize that there's a reason he's being hunted. 
   
   
   
  And that reason may be the answer to all our problems, and the start to a whole new set of them. 
   
   
   
  Robby Diaz 
   
   
   
  I bounced off problems and tended to avoid any and all issues with a smile and a wave. So imagine my surprise when I'm heading to a magic shop in Malibu and I'm suddenly attacked by vampires and then saved by one of the most handsome men I'd ever seen. I thought I could float away from whatever mess I stumbled into, but this problem stuck—following me all the way home. 
   
   
   
  The vampires were after me, but they didn't want me dead . . . they wanted me alive. Why? And what did I have to do with this dragon-killing curse? And why was I falling for the fiery hot dragon who insists on saving me over and over again? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Jimmy Goggles the God by H. G. Wells is a satirical short story blending humor and social critique. The tale follows three friends—Treherne, James, and Borker—who salvage a pearl diver’s suit, dubbing it “Jimmy Goggles.” During a yachting trip, Treherne dons the suit to explore a sunken ship but is mistaken for a deity by an island tribe. Revered as a god, he exploits his newfound status, demanding riches and obedience. However, his actions lead to unintended consequences, exposing the absurdity of colonial exploitation and blind worship. Wells uses sharp wit to critique imperialism, greed, and the clash of cultures, while exploring themes of identity and power. A blend of adventure and irony, Jimmy Goggles the God offers a thought-provoking yet entertaining commentary on human folly and societal dynamics.

  Elective Affinities

  Goethe as a novelist is best known for two earlier novels, The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship (1796). But Elective Affinities, which was published in 1809, is widely regarded as his mature masterpiece, not least because of its unusual provenance, which brings together Goethe the scientist as well as Goethe the writer. Baron Eduard and his second wife Charlotte enjoy a quiet, humdrum existence in their opulent castle, but when he invites his friend the Captain and she invites her niece Ottilie to stay with them, their lives are turned inside out as both hosts begin to feel attracted to their guests. Using one of the chemistry theories of the time (the term ‘elective affinities’ was used by Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton) as a metaphor throughout the novel, Goethe juxtaposes social interactions with scientific principles, while illustrating the typically Romantic concern of the individual coming to terms with society. Controversial when first published and still much critically debated today, Goethe s Elective Affinities is an early model for the modern novel.
