The Skeptic and Other Glimpses

A UFO debunker bites off more than he can chew. A man faces an unusual test for an orbital job.

This collection of six flash fiction and short-short stories each shows a glimpse of a possible future of Earth. Aliens, space travel, immortality. Each of the six stories is set on Earth. All six stories were previously published - with the anchor story, "The Skeptic," published in the April 2013 issue of Analog Science Fiction & Fact.

Although short, this micro-collection shows the reader six quite different possibilities - different in tone, feel, and content, but tied together by the importance of Earth and humanity.
