During his travels, he must endure the rigors of overland travel and the forces of nature.

Before she knows it, she is called on for help by a trio of strange creatures who live in the woods nearby. And then the rabbits… Oh yes, the rabbits.

The Worshippers And The Way

by Hugh Cook

Who will control the Combat College? That is the question at the heart of this military SF novel, The Worshippers And The Way.

In a barbaric world, thousands of years after the fall of a great civilization, the Combat College survives in the city of Dalar ken Halvar.

The college is run by a computerized entity, Paraban Senk, who is true to his mission: to train warriors for the ancient civilization of the Nexus.

Thousands of years ago, the Chasm Gates were closed, and Dalar ken Halvar cut off from the Nexus. However, if the Chasm Gates were ever to be reopoened, the warriors under training in the Combat College would be ready for the high-tech warfare of the transcosmic civilization from which Paraban Senk comes.

The novel, which contains murder mystery elements, opens with the discovery of a corpse, the corpse being that of Hiji Hanojo, the instructor of the Combat College, Paraban Senk’s immediate subordinate.

The Ware Tetralogy

by Rudy Rucker

Your Guide to the 21st Century!

By Freeware, the robots have evolved into soft plastic slugs called moldies­-and some human ‘cheeseballs’ want to have sex with them. The action redoubles when aliens begin arriving in the form of cosmic rays.

And with Realware, the humans and robots reach a higher plateau.

Unexpected Rain

by Jason LaPier

Jack Jackson – just ‘Jax’ to his friends, if he had any – finds his life turned upside-down when a small, domed neighborhood on the fourth planet orbiting Barnard’s Star loses life support on his watch. Just a lowly operator, Jax is accused of mass homicide, arrested, and faced with a mound of impossible evidence against him.

His only ally is Stanford Runstom, an officer of Modern Policing and Peacekeeping. Runstom is a detective at heart, passed over for promotion time and time again, just waiting for a chance to blow open a meaningful case and make something of his career and his life, even if it means risking everything.

Together, the two will try to exonerate Jax by finding the real killer, still at large and protected by layer upon layer of obscurity. They’ll face off against space gangs, greedy politicians, and corrupt cops along the road that takes them off the planet Jax has never left before in his life and into the depths of space.
