Opis

Santa, Aliens and War is an eclectic collection of 29 short stories from the pen of a previously unpublished author. Inside you will meet Jason, who walks on the surface of the sun, Vreep and Denar trying to do a boring job in an ancient spaceship, or experience horror at the bottom of the sea. Carefully researched, you can fly in a damaged Lancaster bomber trying to make its way home, or sit in an underground bunker awaiting nuclear Armageddon, or join a Tommy about to go over the top into No Man's Land in the First World War. Other questions will be answered, such as what really did happen when the snake tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden? And why you really should avoid pumpkins at Halloween. Things aren't all serious, though: meet Aggie whose morning isn't begun without a freshly make cup of tea, or Cyrus the sheep, worried about his appearance. Also inside are stories about candy floss (cotton candy to our US readers) mobile phones, one of the seven dwarves in therapy... There are even a couple of poems and a scientific piece on autumn Some of the stories will make you laugh, some cry and some will make you think. It is designed to be dipped into when you have a few minutes to spare, or to binge read and finish in one glorious session. Enjoy
