Duncan Long delivers nine beautifully crafted short stories, each unique and entertaining, spanning styles from science fiction to fantasy to horror, with stops in uncharted territory. Spider B Gone tells of scientific pest control gone awry; The Resurrectionist reveals what happens when a husband attempts to raise his wife from the dead. Lightning War brings a chilling tale of intergalactic wars waged in a matter of milliseconds. Other stories tell of a future run by machines where human beings only "work" at hobbies, the downside to eternal life, and what happens when a spaceman makes a bet against Death. There's an alternate history where the Cold War went hot and a tale of heroism from the Vietnam War. Each delivers unexpected twists with a pleasant surprise at the end. These are must-read stories that amuse, amaze, and sometimes terrify.
