A man is running, running through the woods, avoiding cities, avoiding his fellow man, running, running. He's running from the authorities, from his crimes, from an entire world. And most of all, he is running from himself and the logically frightening and humane punishment that waits for him if he stops.

When it all went down, “Wizard of Odd” Dev Brinkman was seeking shelter from the taunts of his classmates. Goth girl Lucy Abernathy had lost her best friend and had no clue where to turn. And Twinkie-loving quarterback “Marcus” Haddad was learning why you never discuss politics and religion in polite company—or online.

Dive into two early tales by the acclaimed science fiction author Robert Silverberg. The Happy Unfortunate, originally published in Amazing Stories in 1957, delves into the existential angst that arises when humanity ventures into space, only to face the daunting task of creating a new breed of spacers capable of enduring the harsh realities of acceleration. Meanwhile, The Hunted Heroes, published a year earlier in 1956, offers a hopeful glimpse into a future where the resilience of the human spirit shines through the devastation left in the wake of war.

Arthur's world flips when instead of a becoming supervisor, the brass makes him a census-taker. His task: to head out into the irradiated streets armed with paperwork and red tape. Assigned to him is a drug-addicted bodyguard, Rabia Duke, who could care less if they survive.

Heather hates the Complot - the government party that controls her country - but the Complot loves her. And every citizen in Canuckia. They love everyone so much they're throwing a special end-of-year celebration to honour their Winners; and weed out The Weak. Will Heather survive a Complot New Year? Will anyone? A flash fiction with two other tales.

In this kaleidoscopic voyage through the past, present, and future of the United States, a young girl uncovers a secret society, a middle-aged man searches for his lost first love, a group of teens invent a role-playing game, protests threaten to topple the government, and an eccentric lawyer and his young Vietnamese protégée re-open a dormant case.

It all started as a milk run: a working vacation on New Arcadia, the neo-Victorian and Edwardian steampunk orbital, with cards and booze and filthy jokes aplenty. Then it became a bigger — but still low-stakes — job involving stolen Egyptian artifacts with a payday almost too good to be true. How it ended up, though, might have involved going to war with a bloodthirsty outlaw gang of neo-Nazi, neo-pagan, cybernetic, steampunk biker werewolves and trying to prevent the Viking apocalypse. Maybe with the help of half-alien Jesus, an ancient cat goddess, and a small army of berserker dwarves.

In the year 2475, the remnants of humanity have taken to the skies, inhabiting massive domed cities that hover five miles over the ruined ecological disaster of old Earth. The Powers That Be, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the few million people left deserved to live their best lives, so they gave each sub-orbital platform its own theme and legally enforced tech level.

Counting down to his final days, Marine veteran Jake Hathaway knows he can't win this battle on his own. Will he and his band of misfits be able to mount any sort of defense to give the good people of America a fighting chance of survival?
