AsteRats and Other Stories

From the innermost workings of a computer to the surface of the Earth. From the tortured mind of a deserted woman to the depths of space. From suburbia to the top of an urban high-rise, there is no escape. 

Stories that explore questions about killer AI weapons, the beginnings of sentience in an AI construct, requirements for society and humanity to advance, and what happens if your spaceship only has beans for food,

This anthology brings you short stories to stretch your imagination, stories that will leave you wondering.

This collection is the perfect introduction to the work of E. S. Martell and makes a great companion piece to his full-length novels.

"If you like short stories that make you think, shudder, laugh, and think again, you need to read this book."
