Aventures Fiction #20

In "Le roi étranger de la Terre," a lone Earth drifter is proclaimed the long-lost king of a mysterious alien race, whisked away to their sacred gem garden under the guise of a sacred duty. But when he begins to suspect the crown is a ruse, he must use his wits to unravel the truth and find a way out—before he's trapped forever.

In "L'homme qui passa le mur de la lumière," Jan Holt’s consciousness is hurled across space after being accelerated to light speed, landing in the body of a dog-like alien on a distant world. When an Earth survey ship arrives, he struggles to make contact—only to be left behind when a sudden geyser launches the vessel into orbit. With no other choice, Holt commandeers the ship and brings it down, earning a return to Earth. But as he nears home, his mind begins to pull back toward his original body, leaving him caught between two lives.
