Dr. Lawrence M. Schoen is probably most known as "That Klingon Guy" because of his years of service as the founder and director of the Klingon Language Institute. Now, through a collection of seven short stories--three of them original to this collection--he explores the in-human condition. At times humorous, other times thoughtful, "Aliens and AIs" touches upon psychic aliens, punning computers, not-quite-intelligent robots and the humans who interact with them all.
With an introduction by Mark Tiedemann, author of the SECANTIS SEQUENCE.

Kanna Mendrays came to Melidan Tower to heal. But peace is scarce here; Biadei, the friend who saved her life and brought her to the Tower, goes mad at each full moon. The aged Lord Daemon seems to know too much about her--even hints about the family who abandoned her long ago. Now she has begun to hear a voice, the spirit of a man killed years ago. When Biadei is captured, it promises, "Give me Daemon, and I will save your friend. Give me Daemon, and you will know the truth about your family..."

http://www.eggplant-productions.com/jintsu/etext.asp?id=9It is a world much like our own, differing in only one small detail: no one has yet pierced the veil of Heaven. Now the United States is finally ready to send a manned mission into orbit. To capture the sights, sounds and emotions of man's first ascent, three artists have been chosen to join the
crew: Emerton Palmer, a poet; Anna Mislen, a painter and James "Boss" Bossy, a musician. The three have to learn to overcome their own fears and their differences to become the crew that will bring a little piece of space back to earth with them. When they finally do reach space, however, they find a place that none of them had ever imagined. A place where women appear from clouds of insects, where one can meet one's Muse, and where the laws of Heaven can be broken.

Laura J. Underwood brings you a new story of Conor Manahan. While escorting a caravan through Cinnoch Connor and his family--his healer wife, Eithne, and his mageborn adopted son, Rhoyd--come across an unusual landmark. They stop the night at Rhucnach Ruins a place that reeks of magic and which was warded years ago. Conor is unnerved by the place for the sake of his son.
Sensitive to magic, Rhoyd is eager to explore their campsite, especially the ruins.
But it is the discovery of a statue bearing a locked box that brings to light events that transpired years before. Soon Rhoyd is answering to a strange woman singing in his dreams. His disappearance forces Conor to face the differences himself and his mageborn son and other men. Can solving a riddle from ages past save them or will it bring them further troubles?
Filled with the mythology of Keltora and other lands that Laura J. Underwood has built in her novels Ard Master and The Black Hunter, Gather My Bones is a fast paced, suspenseful read.

First came the body. His dead friend's warm blood, Tommy's own seed, the strange flour, powders charged with chemical enchantments—all combined and stirred to life, to human form, by Marie's invocation.

one's serious, folks, and there's nothing more dangerous. Thank God."

Wistril Compleat by Frank Tuttle
(F) - What is a fantasy world without a crotchety old wizard, a droll
apprentice and a castle full of gargoyles? It's a sad fantasy world indeed.
Fortunately for the residents of Dervanny they have such a wizard, apprentice
and castle, along with Serpentia Giganticus Aquatica (big water snakes) and a
Wumpus Arcanus Felineae (flying cat). With all the wildlife, it's a wonder
Wistril gets any wizardry done. (71 pages, $3.50)
Boltzmann’s Ghost by Ken Wharton (SF) - Grady Cotter has a lot of things on his mind: his laser lab (which is close to obsolete), his grant money (which is rapidly drying up), and his career (which is on a fast track to nowhere). The last thing he wants to deal with is a crazy, suicidal philosopher named Darrell. But when their paths cross, Grady finds that Darrell has put an intriguing new twist on some typical paranoia. Darrell's wrong, of course; Grady knows that time marches forward, entropy increases, and meanwhile is lab isn't going to build itself. But then why does Grady feel like he's become part of Darrell's delusions? (29 pages, $3.50)
