Publisher's summary
In space, conquest reigns supreme. The mighty prevail, but only for those with the power.
The Thulu have dominated the cosmos for millennia. Grand Viceroy Zaltis should revel in the glory of defeating the Earthborn Dagan, but it only leaves him empty inside.
Why won’t victory satisfy him?
His master, the godlike D’raith, doesn’t understand the failings of mortals. Its purpose is to rule the universe.
With a Dagan governor as captive, the D’raith orders Zaltis to discover the last Earthborn refuge. It’s where the all-powerful Genesis Stone lies.
Zaltis vows to break the governor and uncover her secret.
But as he interrogates her, he reveals his own vulnerability . . . and past. Zaltis must succeed. To fail is to face his master . . .
. . . a fate worse than death.

Story
Humanity is finally united under the Solar Commonwealth. Under the Pax Solaris, the world no longer lives with the threat of nuclear devastation hanging over it like the sword of Damocles. But not everyone is happy with the new order, and some have decided that a change of leadership is required. And they are more than willing to see sacrifices made to implement their vision.

Story
IF THERE'S ONE THING ADAM ECKHART KNOWS, IT'S THAT HUMANS ARE TROUBLE. He should know. He is one. As captain of the Marathon, a cobbled-together ship crewed by aliens and androids scraping by on odd jobs at the outskirts of settled space, Adam has plenty to worry about without adding his own species to the mix. But when a pair of mortally wounded humans cross his path during a heist gone wrong, he finds himself compelled to save them. Big mistake. Because if there's one more thing Adam knows, it's that the universe never leaves a good deed unpunished. He and his crew are about to find out ...

Story
April 1, 1944, San Francisco, California. Reports of strange lights in the sky were no joke. They were, in fact, alien invaders. The lights could be seen every night, darting through the sky for days after. After the initial war nerves were put to rest. Folks started calling the strange lights “Foo Fighters” after the cartoon strip. On April 9, 1944, a strange dense fog rolled in over the city. That’s when the Walinzi invaders attacked under the cover of the fog, unseen until they were on shore. They easily wiped out the mighty gun batteries protecting the Presidio and the city. The ...

Story
Jerry Anderson was an astronaut faced with an impossible choice: die of asphyxiation in a few hours or see if the alien pod he was transporting really was an escape pod and find out if it could actually save him. When he enters it, he finds that the controls are unreadable, lacking anything to go on, and rapidly running out of air. He presses the blinking green button. The next thing he knows, he isn’t human anymore, and he finds himself on a seashore, next to some birds feasting on a body that looks very similar to his new body. He is alive, but staying alive will be a challenge, and he ...

Story
Haunted by her past, Lee Vawn-Cory joins a trek on horseback to explore an unsettled region of the planet Carico. Nothing like hooves on the ground to get to know a place. Then her horses show up at Seth Reilly’s place without her. He sets out to find her, dreading all the things that can go wrong in the wilds. But what he finds is beyond his wildest imaginings. Captured by non-human castaways, he is taken to a hidden enclave where he discovers Lee already being held. It’s not as simple as escaping. The future of Carico depends on finding a path to peaceful contact between the stranded ...
