Contains 6 stories
The War Mongers
4 pp · science fiction

Supreme Space Commander Ron Kilrain has survived countless battles across the 22nd century, but his greatest trial begins when Earth's fleet is devastated by brilliant alien warships and he's forced to surrender. Taken prisoner to an enemy base, Kilrain discovers that the true architects of the invasion are the Kahanees—and that his captor may hold the key to an unexpected alliance that could determine Earth's survival. "The War Mongers" explores what happens when an aging warrior's pride meets an enemy with their own desperate reasons for waging war.

The End of Time
3 pp · science fiction

When Chazo, the defeated chieftain of the planet Kufa, realizes that Earth's military dominance rests on precision and control, he unleashes a strange weapon that strips time itself of meaning—causing hours and minutes to lose all synchronization across planets and individuals. Marshal Moore must confront an enemy whose victory comes not through conquest, but through the chaos of a timeless universe.

Ten Enemies
4 pp · science fiction

When the alien planet Lotha delivers an ultimatum to Earth—claiming to have placed ten hidden agents in positions of power—paranoia spreads like wildfire through government, military, and civilian populations. As suspicion and mistrust paralyze society itself, the President must devise a desperate gambit to restore order before the real threat can strike. This taut 1963 sci-fi tale explores how fear of an invisible enemy can become more destructive than the enemy itself.

Space Flotsam
3 pp · science fiction

Space Leader Guy Abbot and his small crew scout a mysterious electromagnetic mesh drifting through space—a discovery that finally explains decades of vanished starships. When their fighter becomes trapped in the alien web alongside the recovered derelicts, Abbot must use cunning and nerve to secure the release of every captured vessel and crew without revealing that Earth holds any real advantage. A tense standoff unfolds as the space pirate operation behind the trap decides whether to believe a lone commander's dangerous bluff.

Century Without War
4 pp · science fiction

In the 21st century, Earth has learned the horrors of nuclear devastation and sworn off warfare entirely—but that pacifism makes humanity easy prey when the warlike Uranusians arrive with demands for ransom. A resourceful team devises a daring bluff: convincing the invaders that an unarmed supply ship is actually a planet-destroying bomb, betting that the threat alone will force the aliens to stand down. It's a tense gamble that tests whether an entire disarmed civilization can outwit an aggressor without firing a shot.

The Agressors [sic]
7 pp · science fiction
