Dronethology Two

Paul A. Hernandez

I hope that you will enjoy these 21 short stories featuring ideas about drones and the new innovations that we may see in the coming days.
Each one of these little sketches of concepts to come came in to my little mind, ususally in the wee hours while sitting on a very comfy-overstuffed chair in the dark.
I have these little micro flashlights (rechargeable) that fit on my fingers to shine the light on my clipboard as I frantically try to jot the idea down before I forget it and my mind returns to thinking about more important things, like what is in my refrigerator.
After I jot down the idea, I go type it out on the computer and maybe flesh a little more out and then edit and re-edit and edit again. And then when I read it aloud, I find scores more errors! And I wonder why I ever wanted to become a writer!
And the fights with my printer are legendary. My neighbors don't often talk to me when I am out checking the mail or whatnot, as they have, no doubt, heard me fighting and cussing at my computer through my open window. I must apologize for that,but you must understand I don't have muses or spektors, but instead, only and aging printer that only works when it wants to and I find it a semi evil entity.
But, back to writing, which is a passion and a need to get the stories out of my head before I forget them. They are like puzzles to me that only I can solve because most of the time I have no idea where they are going.
Anyway, I hope that you will, or have enjoyed these stories and will eagerly look for others...as I certainly will be.
Thank You for your time,
PAH

The Adventures of Space Girl...

R. A. Davis

Space Girl Green was the least confident member of her legendary Space Girl Unit right out of the academy. Of course the universe charged her with saving not just her father’s home world, but a whole pocket universe. 
Space Girl HQ gave her a flying saucer with a melodious personality, powerful rayguns and told her to go change the galaxy. Perhaps it was a bad idea to visit the destroyed world of Gamalon right off the bat, because a pair of mysterious scientists gave her an epic quest, putting Gamalon’s destiny in her untried hands. 
Dropping through an uncharted and impossible Spaceways portal, Green crashes her flying saucer and must seek help from a Wizard in a land populated by androids like nothing she’s ever seen or experienced. Her journey pairs her with a brainless dough girl, a heartless Cyberknight, and a cowardly Lion. 
Can she kill the evil Sister who shot down her saucer and find a way home? Will she accomplish both quests to save Auz and Gamalon? 
The second book in the “Space Girl Adventures” series is a roller coaster ride that crosses Westworld with the Wizard of Oz. Uniquely familiar in its retro-futuristic vibe, The Adventures of Space Girl Green will put you on the edge of your seat, make laugh and cry.

G581: Earth

Christine Shuck

Earth lies devastated and empty. Over 99.6% of the population have succumbed to the deadly ESH virus. More have perished in the civil wars and anarchy that followed. With humanity on the brink of extinction, most made infertile by the virus, newly-elected President Madeline Chen is forced to make unthinkable choices—robbing millions of their basic human rights to ensure mankind's survival. 
But suddenly, mankind faces the opposite problem. A 14-kilometer asteroid is hurtling towards the planet—one larger than the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. 
Survival requires escaping off-world before impact, or huddling for safety deep beneath the Earth—and there's only limited space either way. Earth's 14 million survivors have suddenly gone from too few to far too many. 
G581: Earth is the third novel in Christine D. Shuck's immersive Gliese 581 science fiction series. It blends science fiction with achingly human, character-driven stories proven by recent headlines to be terrifyingly plausible—making this book a compelling choice for those who appreciate both Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Arthur C. Clarke’s The Hammer of God.
