Two short stories and a selection of poetry make up this slim volume by Adrian Kleinbergen (author of the"Frontiers" graphic novel and the short story collection,"Carpenter's Hammer & Other Tales.") "The Specimen" deals with the discovery of an alternate dimension next to our own and the ambition of a duo of scientists attempting to break through the barrier that separates them from it. "Harper" tells the tale of a newly-licensed robot private investigator who crosses paths with the robot he once loved and lost; in a way he could never have imagined. "Coffee Man" is a brief yarn about the possible risks of over-indulgence in the dark, rich nectar that coaxes us out of bed each morning. Following those stories are a selection of short poem whose subjects touch upon the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, the noble spirit of space adventurer Tom Ford, the historical wonder of the monuments of Paris and others.

Adrian Kleinbergen's epic tale of love, loss, betrayal and flight takes Captain Marla Fireclaw far beyond the lands she knows. Lieutenant William Longburrow, a member of a race she despises, gradually earns her trust, her respect and finally, her love. Then, he strands himself in a danger-strewn wasteland to save her life. his sacrifice will put them and their culture both on the road to redemption.
