The Astronaut Always Rings Twice

Crime Is Not Bound by Gravity

Turns out, greed and passion are universal truths, and leaving Earth does not mean leaving behind humanity. Spaceships, other planets, even Virtual Reality: all carry the taint of human desires.

Androids and robots fight for equal rights. The poor struggle to survive while the rich build private paradises high above the mess of Earth. Big Brother is watching and death remains the only equalizer, but some poor sod may try to unravel the mystery behind these murders, shine a light on corruption, and see justice done. If the price is right.

Fifteen stories explore the darkness of space and the human heart, featuring works by: Michael Teasdale; Al Onia; Douglas DiCicco; Kenzie Lappin; Kirk Bueckert; Wendy N. Wagner; J.W. Schnarr; J. Gordon; Chris Barnham; Ewan A. Dougall; JR Campbell; David F. Shultz; Shannon Allen; Calvin D. Jim; and Hayden Trenholm.

But remember: The Astronaut Always Rings Twice.
