  Accept No Substitutes - The...

  Ralph Garvey thinks he’s planned the perfect escapade: slip past Customs, blast off in his private space yacht, and enjoy a forbidden synthetic companion far from the puritanical reach of Earth’s Sexual Morality Act. But fate—and bad timing—intervene when a surprise inspection nearly exposes the giant crate he’s smuggled aboard. Once Garvey reaches deep space and activates the surrogate, his relief turns to terror. Instead of an Earth-standard model, he’s purchased an Algolian surrogate—an android designed for a heavier world, a richer atmosphere, and a species with strength far beyond human norms. Her beauty is breathtaking, but her affectionate instincts are overpowering… and potentially lethal. 
  What unfolds is classic Sheckley: a fast, funny, nerve-twisting chain of misunderstandings and escalating danger. Garvey soon finds himself trapped inside his ship with a companion who sees him as the perfect mate—and is strong enough to crush him without meaning to. Sheckley turns a simple premise into a frantic battle of wits, desperation, and survival, all while skewering human vanity, desire, and the dream of a “perfect” substitute for real connection. 
  Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) stands tall among the great humorists of science fiction. Rising to prominence in the 1950s, he became celebrated for his razor-sharp wit, ironic storytelling, and ability to mix satire with interstellar adventure. His stories appeared in Galaxy, Astounding, If, F&SF, and nearly every major magazine of the era. 
  Throughout his career, Sheckley wrote hundreds of short stories, numerous novels, and several screen adaptations. “Accept No Substitutes” is a prime example of his ability to make readers laugh, gasp, and reflect all at once—a timeless reminder that some desires are better left un-automated.

  He was the only one who saw the murder, but he was locked inside his own home. Eric Bennett, a reclusive architect with severe agoraphobia, watches in frozen horror from his window as a man is killed in the house across the street. Trapped by his own mind, he is a perfect witness who cannot physically bear to step outside to report the crime, leaving the killer free to vanish into the night. 
  When the police, led by the skeptical Detective Angela Ward, dismiss his anonymous phone tip as the ramblings of a shut-in, Eric’s isolation becomes a prison of paranoia. The killer, a young man named Caleb Barnes, soon realizes who witnessed his crime. Caleb begins a sinister campaign of psychological warfare, exploiting Eric’s condition by leaving subtle, terrifying signs that his sanctuary has been breached, proving that the locks on his doors are meaningless. 
  As the line between inside and outside blurs, Eric must confront a terrifying question: is the real threat the murderer circling his home, or the crumbling walls of his own psyche? To survive, he will have to do the one thing his mind has rendered impossible—leave the house and enter the killer’s world.
