Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 500 years after the Galactic Empire's collapse, the 427th Light Maintenance Battalion of the Imperial Space Marines stubbornly hold onto their mission, training to repair starships that never come. Their equipment gradually wears out and to all outward appearance, they seem to be primitive savages, living by hunting and farming. When a coup removes Colonel Marcus Harris, commander of the maintenance battalion, in favor of his executive officer, the colonel and a loyal second lieutenant, Kurt Dixon, are jailed. When Dixon escapes, he hides in a battle suit to avoid detection. He accidentally activates it and is propelled into outer space. There, he is rescued by a scout of the new Galactic Protectorate...a ramshackle, barely-functioning organization whose leaders are fighting amongst themselves. The Galactic Protectorate, despite its name, has lost most of the technical expertise to do even routine maintenance on their own equipment. Both sides have something the other needs. But can they possibly work together? And if they do, will it be war -- or the start of a new Galactic Empire? Theodore Cogswell's classic science fiction novella is available in ebook form for the first time in more than a decade!

A Short Story Collection of Horrors, the Bizarre, and the Mysterious is a 22-story horror collection ranging from the traditional Halloween story to the very bizarre. There is a vast variety of characters, from the criminal mind to black cats, witches, the insane, Satan, and the grim reaper. If you are a horror fan, get ready for a journey loaded with twists and turns. One thing these stories all have in common is that each one has an exceptional surprise ending. The other thing they all possess is the ability to keep readers on the edge of their seat. By the time you reach the very last story, you will be left breathless and terrified. Two of these stories have won writing contests. See if you can figure out which ones. "As the author, I must be honest. Once these stories were on paper and I was removed, when I went back to read them, some of these tales even scared me." .
