Free Stories

Here are four stories very like the stories in our new book that you can down load for free right now.

  1. "Curse the Salt"

    Here is a complete story about a number of AIs and some dedicated people trying to address the problems of people displaced by rising sea levels. It is from the Iron Seas Series.

    Sometimes a problem is so big you can only tackle it with a team.

    This story also has a supporting YouTube: "Human/Machine Symbiosis: Rising Seas and People"

  2. "Ice Song"

    Here is a complete but very short story about an AI in a dangerous place trying to help its friends. It is from the Herd Series.

    Sometimes you have to take a few chances to help your friends.

  3. "The Lunar Viper"

    Here is a complete story about the first person born on the Moon. It is set in the lunar settlement series built by the MOVE team in our space series. It is from the Big Moon Dig Series.

    In Space, you must grow up fast, or not grow up at all.

  4. "The Dark of the Moon"

    Here is the complete short story about why we must explore space. It is from the Big Moon Dig Series.

    Sometimes you do meet demons in the depths of space; but sometimes that's not such a bad thing, especially if they are your own.
