From far-flung worlds to just-around-the-corner nightmares: four science fiction excursions on the dark side.



The Language of Monsters -- A CIA operative and a mysterious being of unknown origin form a deep -- and deadly -- bond.



Landing Day -- A live transmission of first contact with an alien intelligence creates an unlikely backdrop for a bank robbery gone wrong.



The Mushroom King -- On a desolate world at the end of time, one man must choose between two terrible alternatives -- and decide the fate of the human race.



Cure! -- As a super-flu ravages the countryside, civilization starts to unravel. A desperate few will risk all in the arena for a televised shot at an antidote. But will they still want to live afterward?



Approximately 25,000 words of gripping, hardboiled, science fiction.
