Book Blurb
Humanity was ready to send an expedition to Mars. The technology had matured for decades, the finances cobbled together, and the will to go had been whipped up by a masterful campaign. Unfortunately, corruption put a spanner in the works.
A nudge changes the lives of two dogs bred to be guardians for an evil lord ... a lazy alien has to save a new species of bipeds from exploitation, punish the criminals, and deal with a hostile Empire ... one can hear strange things when one's drinking partner has had a few too many. Read all about it, and more, in this delightful mix of short stories across different genres.
