Here are the old tales of fantasy, both high and low, as we would
love to see them told - just once: an 11 part anthology of humorous
short stories which takes every worn out trope ever spawned, and
turns them inside out.
Part Two of the Ic'nichi-Human Chronicles
The story of the Ic'nichi's ill-starred diplomatic herd continues
when they are dragged kicking and screaming into a new interstellar
diplomatic crisis involving mysterious new aliens and our first
interstellar war - with the humans on our side, fancy that.
Concluding the 'Diplomacy' trilogy, this third volume continues the
gyrations and misadventures of the Ic'nichi's ill-starred
diplomatic herd. Our heros have returned from their second crisis
on earth only to find that their experience in the Dreamsingers'
War had had an unexpected effect on them all. They are becoming
telepathic While their empathic powers grow day by day, they find
themselves caught up in the political crossfire as the Chamber Of
Ancients struggles to cope with the consequences of the late war
and their ongoing suspicion of the mysterious and unstable
'humans'. As they struggle against their choking bureaucracy and
their ever-growing powers, little do they know that suspicion is
rapidly is rapidly brewing up into an interstellar crisis which
threatens to explode into a devastating war. Their only hope: the
unlikely intervention of the mysterious Dreamsingers, and their own
earnest fumbling...
A train trip over Donner Pass was not something undertaken lightly
in 1876, but there were far greater threats than blizzards and
avalanches. Nate Poole found himself caught up in a struggle
between a beautiful, mysterious woman from the distant future and
the inhuman policeman who came back in time to arrest her. What was
worse was the part he had to play in their struggle: it was
unlikely any of them would live to reach San Francisco.
This story is fiction based in part on the life of Robert A. Boyd
while he served in the United States Air Force in the mid 1960's.
The story centers around the US Military during a time of civil
unrest in America and the uncertanty of survival if a man joined
the US Military from 1965 thru 1968 at a time American citizens
fought not only the US Government, and each other, for race
equality, peace, and freedom from oppression, but the unpopular, to
its citizens and especially its military personnel, Vietnam War.
Its writings detail the names and locations of actual top-secret US
military bases that were used, located both inside and outside
Vietnam in 1967 and 1968, and many highly detailed scout sniper
missions that includes actual mission locations and targets. This
is a story about the so called, 'best against the best', sniper
against sniper, about one top-secret scout-sniper team sent out
against emense odds on a deadly continent. The book includes
detailed sexual content; its combat depictions include very graphic
violence, torture, terrorism, period prejudicial language, slurs,
and acts, plus race and theater of war specific slang language.
These inclusions are necessary to the story for the period of which
it was written, and are not meant to debase, slander, or affront
anyone or any race. They are simply recreations of period
historical fact.
