Tears Of Ariel I

Nineteen stories from the dark side… Tales starting in the distant past, from ancient magic in Mesopotamia and a refugee from Thrace with a terrible secret, and the story of a terminally ill little boy in more modern times who wishes that someone would visit him to a set of short stories all set in future-Earth that start in the close future, where the cracks are already beginning to show, to the far flung future where the earth has been killed by forces unknown and the people live far underground…but while the world has changed, far beyond our recognition, so many of the people are still the same self seeking, grasping, intolerant fools they so often were before the Cataclysm came…and those who are different, through no fault of their own, have a hard row to hoe… And much more… Also featuring a preview of the new novel ‘Sanction’, the first of a dark science fiction fantasy cyberpunk tale of a galaxy where nothing is as it seems…
