This space opera is a return to the beloved “zap gun” stories of the past — a fun, exciting, and sometimes erotic romp across the galaxy!
Space jockey Dirken Nova and his cyborg companion, Yiorgos, are hired for an “easy money” job transporting a mysterious safebox between planets. It would be enough for them to finally afford their own starship again. But the gig goes sideways when galactic pirates attack. A merciless pirate captain, a tentacled mafioso, an enigmatic cult, and a femme fatale alien lover all want the package for themselves. Who’s a smuggler to trust?

Does technology make you feel more connected? Are you sure?
In the not-so-distant future of this short story, telepresence droids, or “teledroids,” are used in homes to interact with others, in battle as surrogate soldiers, or to visit far away locales. Gary Feltman is a young surgical specialist working from his compudesk in Chicago, performing surgeries via teledroid on patients across the globe. His important work and medical studies require constant focus and pull his attention away from family. Yet while he is connecting to others and saving their lives, the very same technology is shunned by his beloved Uncle Wallis, who lies dying from a cancer that Gary could have cured with his techniques. What would drive his uncle to make such a choice?
And in a world where technology is supposed to bring us together, why can’t Gary seem to connect?
