    Five early stories by one of my favorite SF writers, Mack Reynolds.  Medal of Honor is an intriguing look into the mind of someone who is above the law; who cannot commit a crime.  How will he act? especially if he is a self centered drunk?  Potential Enemy is story about the sad state of human minds that are ruled by fear and paranoia.  Happy Ending is an SF story about the far future when the last solar system wide dictator has been finally defeated and what will he do?  What will he do? This is also an exploration of mental megalomania and it's effects.  His happy ending is perhaps suitable, but probably not so happy.   A Gun For Hire explores in a light hearted but painful way, the fact that hired guns are just that: hired.  The final story is the funniest of the lot the and is set in Tangiers in the present or very near future.  UFO's are a crackpot idea, right?  well perhaps not.  - Summary by Phil Chenevert

And why does he so desperately want to find his late uncle's remains? The mystery is bizarre and gruesome...and the tale takes on one weird twist after another.

    A lifelong friend finds something deep in the Everglades that is so very odd, that when he calls Jesse McDermitt, at first the semi-retired former special operator is in total disbelief. But he is also very intrigued, and the duo set out on another adventure reminiscent of their childhood days.  
    But their youthful quest had been all about fun and make-believe. This one was real, waiting nearly a century to be discovered. 
    There is another party interested in what Billy Rainwater stumbled upon. They have been searching for decades and will stop at nothing to recover what they believe to be not only their personal property, but their legacy. The Glades never gives up secrets readily. 
    Deep in the River of Grass, untold dangers lurk, waiting to snatch the unwary. It raises its ugly head in the backcountry of the Middle Keys, as well. But when it finds its way into the parking lot of Jesse’s favorite watering hole, a line in the sand has to be drawn once again.

    Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe) was born in Boston Massachusetts on January 19th 1809 and was orphaned at an early age.  Taken in by the Allan family his education was cut short by lack of money and he went to the military academy West Point where he failed to become an officer.   
     
    His early literary works were poetic but he quickly turned to prose. He worked for several magazines and journals until in January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.   
     
    Thereafter followed the works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and macabre.    
     
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the early age of 40 in 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland

    Edna Ferber observed people with the eye of a painter.  She saw us clearly, much too clearly for what we are: humans with strange behaviors.  Being a novelist with a way with words, she then proceeded to describe these strange behaviors in a way that was and still is, funny and painful because we recognize our silliness and oddness all too well.  In this story she describes how a tiny mannerism in a husband can drive a loving wife to up one wall and down the other. And how, when she finally breaks after 4 years with this man whom she loves and hates at the same time, the man is left with a bewildered look on his face because, well, he didn't do anything and yet his sweet wife is screaming and dissolving into tears.   Of course it works the other way too and husbands are driven to distraction by some small mannerism their wives do without thinking.  Enjoy this delightful story and take a moment to reflect on the wonderful ability of humans to live with each other at all.
