          Vadalma 
          At first, they thought that some new and terrible disease had killed all but one of the space pirates who had hijacked a
          prospector's vessel. But what kind of disease literally burned a man alive — from the inside out? 
          Edward's Visitor  John
          Pegg 
          The stranger said that he was an angel. That he was something strange was pretty obvious, so the bizarre list of tasks he
          gave Edward as a means to earn a reward wasn't quite as outrageous as it could have been. 
          Ochre  Jonathan Lowe 
          Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Carter had disappeared. His wealthy, powerful family wanted answers. Now Border Patrol Agent Fletcher
          and a private detective hired by the Carters had to find those answers without any messy police involvement — preferably
          answers that made sense. 
          Out of Body  Matthew A. Reed 
          Ka'Rul crystals were rare and precious for their healing properties, even without their connection to the Goddess Sorilla.

          Before the beginning of recording history, there was magic in the world. It faded and was lost, except for half-remembered tales
          twisted and distorted by time. Now it's back — along with an evil that should have died along with it. 
          The Moost Beautiful Leddy in the
          Warld  Adam Ferrarri 
          Arrg the dwarf — or maybe troll — brought Adam into his world to rescue — and woo — the beautiful daughter
          of the Duke. There were a couple of problems with that plan, starting with Adam's complete lack of experience in the
          damsel-rescuing business. 
          The Pathetic Motley
          Clown  M. B. Barlow 
          It was a mistake for Armero to send Sarra Slylaw to Varsam, no matter how much they wanted the weapon she hoped to obtain in
          trade. After all, an android was a machine, and in Varsam, machines were prohibited. But both sides had failed to recognize that a
          far more valuable weapon was right there in front of them. 
          The Zeitsev  Michael Hart 
          The Zeitsev, a warship named for a general who had been expected to do great things in Afghanistan — but who had
          failed, like so many before and since — was a relic of the old Soviet Union. But it still had an important role to
          play…
