A Collection of Science Fiction
Stories
Kindle Edition
Edited By: Shariful Alam
What would
you do, if, like Quest, you were tricked, and your very Mind and Will stolen
from your body?
Eighteen
men and two women in the closed world of a space ship for five months can only
spell tension and trouble—but in this case, the atmosphere was literally
poisoned.
"Hudson
lay in his sleeping bag, staring at the sky. It bothered him a lot. There was
not one familiar constellation, not one star that he could name with any
certainty. This juggling of the stars, he thought, emphasized more than
anything else in this ancient land the vast gulf of years which lay between him
and the Earth where he had been-or would be-born."
In
November 1809, an Englishman named Benjamin Bathurst vanished, inexplicably and
utterly. He was not seen again, ever. At least, not in this continuum....
The
authentic account of why cosmic man damned an outlaw world to be, forever, a
leper of Space.
Through
the complicated space-time of the fourth dimension goes Charlie King in an
attempt to rescue the Meteor Girl.
A livid
flame flares across Space––and over Manhattan hovers Teuxical, vassal of
Malfero, Lord of the Universe, who comes with ten thousand warriors to ravage
and subjugate one more planet for his master.
Tens of
millenniums after the Death of the Sun there came a young man who dares to open
the Frozen Gate of Subterranea.
Out on the
ice-buried planet, Commander Red Stone led his Free Companions to almost
certain death. They died for a dangerous dream that had only one chance in a
thousand trillion to come true. Is there a better reason for dying?
He was
afraid—not of the present or the future, but of the past. He was afraid of the
thing tagged Reed Kieran, that stiff blind voiceless thing wheeling its slow
orbit around the Moon, companion to dead worlds and silent space.
"Look
around you, Jorun of Fulkhis. This is Earth. This is the old home of all
mankind. You cannot go off and forget it. Man cannot do so. It is in him, in
his blood and bones and soul; he will carry Earth within him forever."
In this collection of short stories
included some of the stories which are not considered as classic or kind of a
milestone in the history of Science Fiction short stories. Yet they possessed a
certain kind of aura and different flavors. Each story is stand alone and
different from others. You will find yourself jumping from alien invasion to
galactic exploration; from a doomed earth to a distant planet; from time travel
to space travel; colonization, mad scientist, weird innovation and many more.
The stories were selected very
carefully. The intention is not to make the readers bored. Each story is with
different tastes and flavors. You will be amazed and thrilled by reading these
stories. As well as these stories will also provoke your thought and lead you
to think differently. Actually these stories emerged and published during the
golden era of Science Fiction. You will understand that how those author’s
imagination and thinking set the path of development of this genre of
literature.
We are confident that our readers
will find this collection interesting and worth reading.
It is our pleasure to bring this
collection for you and we will be publishing more collection of this style.
Your opinion about the first collection will be considered as our guidance for
future.
Thanks and happy reading.
