    The Nobles Are Coming - When...

    Mars is a lonely world after dark. The wind moves across endless red plains, strange migrations thunder through the night, and every traveler knows the stories about the towering beings called the Nobles. 
    No one has ever captured one alive. The few men who have encountered them were found horribly altered—or never found at all. Prospectors working the remote deserts speak of them in cautious voices, describing creatures fifteen feet tall who move with unsettling grace and vanish before anyone can understand what they are. 
    Ross, an archaeologist stranded far from Marsport, is simply trying to survive the long walk back to civilization when night forces him to take shelter in a cave. Instead of solitude, he finds another man already inside: a nervous prospector named J. J. Abrogado who claims to have been isolated in the desert for months. 
    At first the conversation is harmless—small talk about Marsport, new construction, and the long-awaited interstellar ship under assembly. But the prospector cannot stop talking about the Nobles. His descriptions grow vivid and strangely intimate, filled with details few people should know. 
    Outside, the desert erupts as hundreds of thousands of nightrunners stampede past the cave in a deafening migration. Inside, Ross begins to wonder if he has made a terrible mistake by entering the shelter at all. 
    Because when a man speaks about monsters with that much certainty, one question becomes impossible to ignore. How does he know so much? 
    Arthur Jean Cox’s “The Nobles Are Coming” is a tense Martian encounter story where isolation breeds suspicion and every shadow may conceal something waiting above you. 
    Arthur Jean Cox wrote science fiction during the early magazine era of the genre. His work appeared in pulp magazines such as Amazing Stories, where writers explored strange worlds, alien civilizations, and the uneasy frontier of interplanetary travel.

    Teo Solace has worked hard to achieve his dream of owning a house. But he didn't know he would become next-door neighbor to werewolves or that refusing the pack's demand to sell the house to them would end with being kidnapped.
    Jerico Franklin left his pack sixteen years ago, and he never planned to return. By refusing to mate with the female his father picked for him, he believed he was doomed to live the rest of his life as a lone wolf. He didn't expect to wake up in a dark cellar with a human by his side. Jerico shouldn't care about the human, but when he learns his former pack intends to kill Teo to take over his house, he knows he has to find a way to get them out of there before he loses control of his wolf. 
    Teo never believed he'd care for a wolf, but spending days in the dark with nothing but Jerico's voice to cling to shifts his perspectives. Humans are a dime on a dozen. One more or less shouldn't matter, but Jerico would've lost himself in the dark if it wasn't for Teo. For how long will Jerico be able to keep Teo safe from the pack? For how long can he keep him safe from himself?
