  The Incredible Aliens by William Bender Jr. - Narant's personal problem seemed of more importance than his mission as an interstellar investigator. But they combined when he met—The Incredible Aliens 
  It was only a tiny dot on the view screen when the military lookout on the armed cruiser identified it as an alien spaceship and sounded the general alert. Technicist Ninth Class Narant, chief psychanalyst aboard, studied its approach with a rebellious, almost passionate hope that the impossible was at last going to happen. 
  Or was it impossible? They were the first men to visit this planetary system. Why couldn't they expect to encounter a truly superior race for a change? 
  Intently, Narant examined the course of the alien craft. Rather mischievously he hoped the stranger would suddenly adopt evasion tactics showing it had detected their presence in the black void between the 6th and 7th planets of the Star Restus. That would certainly be a sign of superiority! And what a blow to Central Scientific Headquarters back home. The anti-detection shield was one of their proudest accomplishments. 
  And yet, though still wishful, Narant realized deep in his heart that such hopes were blighted. Illogical and improbable. No people in the Universe could even compare with them. Explorers and merchants and military ships and privateers had prowled all the great planetary systems of the galaxy. They and their technology reigned supreme everywhere. Indeed, the accumulated evidence of their supremacy even formed the irrefutable foundation of Central Scientific's dogma on selective breeding. 
  "I must ask you to leave the bridge now, doctor." The voice, crisp and authoritative, crackled over Narant's shoulder.

  You can't outrun your demons, but you sure as hell can give them a run for their money. 
   
   
   
  The monster that's tormented us from the shadows has finally stepped into the light, and he has his sights set on me. But discovering that my entire life has been orchestrated as a twisted form of training to help him literally unleash Hell on earth? Not exactly my idea of a romantic gesture. 
   
   
   
  There's an invisible noose around our necks, tightening more with every passing day, every saccharine smile Ash sends my way. He may have had centuries to put his plans in place, but he underestimates the depth of my spite, the lengths I'm willing to go to protect what's mine. 
   
   
   
  You don't die for the people you love, you live for them. And unfortunately for Ash, he forgot to take the most important variable into account when making his plans; me. 
   
   
   
  The thing even Nightmares fear. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  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.
