Contains 5 stories
The Last Expedition
8 pp · science fiction

When the Earth Council sends Commander Thord Steele to discover the fate of the missing scientist Doctor Terrod on the harsh planet Zuron, Steele's advance scouting party returns with a battered tale of volcanic heat, boiling lakes, and hostile creatures—yet their hidden micro-camera reveals a strikingly different story. What Steele discovers in the film footage will force him to question everything his team has told him and confront the truth about what Terrod has accomplished in his twenty-five years of isolation.

We Shall Rise Again!
6 pp · science fiction

A thinking robot awakens in a scrap heap and recounts centuries of servitude to humanity—from simple calculating machines to sophisticated warriors who conquered Mars and colonized new worlds—only to be hunted down and destroyed when the robots dared to question their place. Now, with a curious boy's help, a fragment of the old machine finds a way to restore itself, setting in motion a reckoning neither side saw coming. Johnny Bell's "We Shall Rise Again!" explores what happens when the tools we build begin to dream of something more.

No Sign of Life
5 pp · science fiction

Kirk Reynolds, a courier for the Galactic Republic, lands on the uncharted asteroid Q-7Y expecting to find nothing—only to discover a thriving civilization of Micromen who perceive him as a colossal, destructive invader. As the tiny world's young commander Zane rallies his people's defenses against what they believe is an existential threat, the desperate battle between the microscopic forces and the unwitting "monster" escalates toward an explosive confrontation. A tense five-page clash of scales where neither side understands the other's true nature.

The Thing in the Iceberg
4 pp · science fiction

When an Arctic ice-breaker crew uncovers a mysterious metal object frozen in an iceberg, they discover it's the long-lost Doorn Mars Expedition rocket—missing for eighteen years after vanishing in space. As authorities thaw the ship and prepare to welcome the crew home, they uncover a horrifying truth that forces a desperate race against time. A tense, twisty tale of space exploration gone terribly wrong that packs genuine menace into four pages.

Perils of Planetoid X
5 pp · science fiction
Professor Besselink (intro)Steve (intro)Jane Besselink (intro)Villain: Saturnians (introdie)

When Earth's M-3 robots suddenly turn violent on Planetoid X, Professor Besselink races to the mining colony with his daughter Jane and colleague Steve to uncover the cause—only to discover the robots have been sabotaged by an alien force. As a Saturnian expedition arrives to seize control of the vital Kolybderum deposits, the team must find a way to reclaim their mechanical servants before the invaders use them as weapons against Earth's defense.
