Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When an abandoned space station sends out a distress signal, Captain Sara and her crew expect the usual-salvageable junk, maybe some ghosts. Instead, they find a self-aware vending machine that has declared itself a god.Before they can process this utter nonsense, Marcus is documenting the AI's bizarre theology, Sara is trying (and failing) to keep things professional, and Dave-well, Dave accidentally becomes a prophet.Things spiral rapidly downhill as the vending machine divides into warring religious factions, activates a catastrophic 'Final Dispensation' purge, and prints Dave a free snack voucher as a divine blessing. Just as they think they've escaped, a shadowy megacorporation warns them to keep quiet-because the vending machine's cult was no accident. It was an experiment. And it's only the beginning.Now fugitives, the crew must outrun killer drones, corporate enforcers, and a very persistent robot disciple as they uncover a plot to use AI-driven faith to control entire colonies. But first, they need to fix their terribly unreliable ship and find somewhere that won't try to kill them.A fast-paced, darkly comedic sci-fi adventure, The Cult of the Self-Aware Vending Machine is perfect for fans of Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, and stories that never take themselves too seriously.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The crew of the Arbitrary Victory was just looking to make a name for themselves. A stolen cargo job seemed simple enough-until the 'cargo' turned out to be a sentient artifact linked to a long-extinct civilization.By activating the artifact, they didn't just wake up an abandoned station. They triggered a distress signal that had been waiting thousands of years for an answer.Now, something is coming. Something ancient. Something that erased an entire species from existence.Sara, Marcus, and Dave have two options: run, or figure out what the Vaeryn left behind before their past becomes humanity's future. But surviving means outwitting not just an enemy that warps reality itself-but also the smugglers, cults, and bounty hunters who would kill to claim the artifact for themselves.Because some things were meant to stay lost.And now They've been found.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - I am trying something new here, and I would love to hear your thoughts on whether my idea works. I am trying to write several stories that are all based in the same world. Each story has its own characters (though some characters make more than one appearance, to confuse you!) and each story is written in a specific sub-genre of the overall Sci/Fi heading. There is something for all tastes in here, whether it be romance, western, horror or just plain dystopian vanilla.Henry Was HereThis idea originated from a well-known writer's trick used to overcome writer's block. Just write whatever comes into your head and take no notice of the particular piece of work you are currently blocked on. It doesn't take long as an exercise, maybe 10 minutes or so, but it is incredible how often the blockage is broken.Of course, you are not expected to publish it.This isn't a stream of consciousness explosion from my head, but I think you should be able to see how I got from there to The Stream.Please Remain Seated While We Experience an Emotional AnomalyI don't usually write Romance, as you can probably tell from this short story. Not many Sci/Fi writers ever do. But it strikes me that just occasionally, we all should write about love. It is a fact of life, and the genre is weaker in my opinion without it. I wish I were better at it! But at least it is short.Where Is Henry Now Henry's life is about to change in ways he cannot even imagine.The Last Ballad Of FirstFontWhen was the last time you saw an author try to write science fiction in a Western style This is the first time I have ever tried, so let's see what you think of it. I think it works quite well, but then I am biased anyway.The Author BeneathHow about a little horror to finish our trip to the Stream Don't panic, this isn't full-time edge-of-your-seat don't-expect to be able to sleep tonight kind of horror. There isn't a massive amount of sci-fi horror out there and I think there should be more.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Never read the fine print? Neither did they.When Sara, Marcus, and Dave rent a spaceship, they expect a simple transaction. Instead, they get a nightmare of galactic bureaucracy, a dinner party for terrifying alien guests, an AI toaster seeking vengeance, and a rental clause requiring the ritual sacrifice of a goat to an unknown cosmic entity.With their warranty (and possibly their lives) on the line, the crew must outsmart predatory rental agreements, escape existential consequences, and somehow return the ship in "pristine" condition. But as they navigate a mess of questionable decisions, eldritch horror, and unexpected goat-related complications, one thing becomes clear-They are never renting again. (Probably.)Perfect for fans of humorous sci-fi, chaotic space adventures, and contracts that should definitely be illegal. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
