Science Fiction

When a laboratory technician on the verge of retirement accidentally infects himself with blood from an emergency room patient, he intends to report it until government agents swarm the hospital, confiscating every sample of blood taken from the patient at gunpoint. Deciding not to report the incident just yet for fear of being thrown into an isolation chamber, he goes home and falls violently ill. By the time he recovers and returns to work, scary things are happening. Everyone who has come into contact with that patient is being systematically killed. On the run, he accidentally infects a woman living in the shadows of the underworld. She becomes ill as well, but survives. Then they begin feeling younger and younger. Why would the government want to suppress something like this? After barely escaping federal gunmen, the two of them set out on a journey to try to find out what kind of infection they are harboring--while still retaining their freedom. Their path takes them on an odyssey across Texas and into the mountains of Arkansas, where they find that their adventures are just beginning and may lead them all the way off earth! more...

Days before his college graduation, Scott Madison is considering whether the next step in his life will be grad school in marine biology or a real job. His father, an Army colonel, is pushing a third option: enlisting. An ad on the dorm bulletin baits Scott into accepting a job with Jake Kesten, a Ph.D. in math, who knows martial arts and helps the Government thwart computer hackers, sometimes in search-and-destroy fashion. Two years later, Scott still works for Jake, is enrolled part-time in grad school, and has finally lost his virginity. Working for Jake is not without its occasional hazards, though. While he’s recovering from a recent slipup, Arion, with pointed ears and clad in a wizard’s robe, shows up at his apartment. Arion wants him for an offworld mission, which Scott is convinced is a dream, especially when Jake doesn’t seem at all bothered by it. Nevertheless, he goes along for the ride. Except the ride consists of stepping though a lighthole that Arion gestures into existence inside Scott’s living room. And on the other side, he encounters a world out of a fantasy role-playing game, complete with flying horses and crystal dragons. Joining them is a group of individuals, all of whom appear human and who were collected from their various worlds not always in accord with their wishes. Jen-Varth is filled with self doubt and sees the past ten years of his life as wasted. Trax is a cocky young Mage who has the Staff of Chaos, a lesser artifact that he can’t control and which is sure to cause trouble. Kedda is the jovial gambler no one can figure out. And there’s Enelle, the young woman popped into their midst against her will and who immediately demands to be sent back home. Their mission is to retrieve an alien artifact from a Psi-competent humanoid bent on revenge against Arion and whoever gets in the way. This artifact will magnify his Psi power to planet-destroying proportions. Scott supposedly has the ability to control more...
