In "The Lost Lives of Laura Hastings," a 2004 Dark Horse gem, an Earth expedition returns to a long-abandoned world they once seeded, only to find that evolution took a startling detour—rendering humanity unfit for the planet they hoped to claim. With Al Williamson’s legendary artistry on full display, both in the story and on the cover, this tale unfolds with quiet dread as the crew prepares to erase the planet’s current life and begin anew—unaware of the ancient, sentient tree quietly watching.
In "Food for Thought," an Earth ship returns to a long-abandoned world it once seeded, hoping to find a civilization ready for colonization—only to discover that evolution took a path no one anticipated. As the crew prepares to erase the planet’s current life and begin anew, they remain unaware of the intelligent tree that watches, silent and ancient, from the shadows.
In a future where Earth’s capital faces an alien arrival, a visitor in human form steps from a spacecraft, calming fears with quiet diplomacy. But beneath the peaceful facade lies a deeper truth—one that challenges what it means to truly connect across the stars.
