Nobody Saw the Ship - A Silent...

Murray Leinster

Nobody Saw the Ship by Murray Leinster - It was only a tiny scout ship from somewhere beyond the stars; only one alien creature occupied it. But the ship's mission spelled life to its fellow creatures and death to all living creatures on Earth. And against the super-science of the raider stood one terrified old man and his dog.... 
The landing of the Qul-En ship, a tiny craft no more than fifteen feet in diameter, went completely unnoticed, as its operator intended. It was armed, of course, but its purpose was not destruction. If this ship, whose entire crew consisted of one individual, were successful in its mission then a great ship would come, wiping out the entire population of cities before anyone suspected the danger. 
But this lone Qul-En was seeking a complex hormone substance which Qul-En medical science said theoretically must exist, but the molecule of which even the Qul-En could not synthesize directly. Yet it had to be found, in great quantity; once discovered, the problem of obtaining it would be taken up, with the resources of the whole race behind it. But first it had to be found.

The Mystical Lakes -...

Daniel Katsük

In every part of the world, deep in sweltering jungles, high atop mountain peaks, 
tucked away in rolling hill sides, valleys, plains and vast deserts, 
there lies a series of magical, Mystical Lakes. 
These Mystical Lakes were designed to be a sacred place that would 
give whomever asked a question to them the answers they were searching for. 
Yet take heed; the answers are not always what one wants them to be, but rather 
the answers they truly need to hear, to heal and to grow. In their waters 
they would reflect one’s inner treasure and the kind of dragons that fiercely 
guarded it. They were to be a place that would show any adventurer what was 
holding them back, and how to let it go. Also, illuminating just how magnificent 
and important those that peer into them are; and little one, you are so very important. 
There are so many precious moments when raising a child, and one of my daughter 
and I’s favorites was bedtime, and the stories that would pop into mind. On one 
particular evening, a story of a magical mystical lake came through, that could help kids 
and parents with the difficult issues affecting our world. Since there are billions of 
people on this planet, then there are billions of questions, billions of needs, 
and through this first book in a long series, we begin to delicately unravel 
the mysteries we all navigate as children and adults.
