Citra: Mermaid Stories

Two great short stories are packed into this wonderful book.

Citra: A Mermaid - Peculiar things are happening to Earth in the future. Marcus chases after bounty in uncharted international waters. What he discovers is beyond his imagination. A suspicious creature finds him in a vulnerable situation. He learns that he has more in common with this creature than he ever thought possible, but is it friend or foe?

An Old Message - Martian researcher Dr. Winston Gravenstein comes across solid evidence that will rewrite human history and enshrine his name in glory. But in order to do that he must first confirm what the evidence suggests. And that means an encounter with a less than hospitable robot, interplanetary travel and some creative thinking.

From inside: "Yes, yes, yes. We're all familiar with your fondness for useless linguistics. What I want to know," Winston went on, "is what it says."

"...what do you say? Shall we take a trip to Earth?"
