Contains 4 stories
The Awakening!
6 pp · science fiction

Four men—Conrad, Moore, Dodd, and the narrator—are selected for humanity's most ambitious mission: a 500-year voyage in suspended animation to the Cantara system, where they hope to gain advanced knowledge from a friendly alien race to help win an ongoing interplanetary war. After being frozen and awakened as planned upon approaching their destination, the crew makes a startling discovery that forces them to reckon with how much the world has changed in their absence. In "The Awakening!", writer and interior artist team bring this science fiction tale of sacrifice and obsolescence to life across six pages of high-stakes space exploration.

The Exile
5 pp · science fiction

Space Ranger Bob Varney endures two years of exile at a remote listening post before finally earning transfer back to Earth—but his time in isolation has left him restless and strange. Determined to prove he's genuinely broken down, Varney deliberately antagonizes his superiors until they send him back out into the stars, where he reunites with the life he secretly built among them. His quiet rebellion against a system that tried to erase him reveals that some exiles choose their isolation willingly.

Earth's Secret Weapon
5 pp · science fiction

When Space Captain Josh Keenan is captured by an overwhelming alien invasion fleet intent on conquering Earth, he finds himself alone aboard their flagship—a tiny human among giants with weapons that could obliterate continents. What neither Keenan nor his captors realize is that he's carrying something far more potent than any earthly defense, something that will turn the tide in ways no one could have predicted. This 1961 science fiction tale delivers a clever twist on what it means to be humanity's secret weapon.

Invasion from Outer Space
7 pp · science fiction

When a century-long Cold War reaches a critical turning point, Coordinator Sorin learns of a devastating plot: thirty humanoid robots created by hostile aliens are hidden among the population of the Western Hemisphere, each carrying fissionable material that will detonate when they converge. Racing against an unknown deadline, Sorin must journey to Alpha-Centauri to find a way to distinguish the robots from humans before the deadly rendezvous can take place. But the conspiracy may run deeper than anyone suspected, with betrayal lurking in the highest offices of power.
