Not even the time-lord, Orlando Oversight, knows everything. But speculative minds can glimpse real futures, and the Lush Star system, where spider-like beings treat humans as we do animals, isn't such a distant dream away. Do Jack Baker, the self-styled 'Spartacus', and his followers have a future as more than meat and slaves? Will Athalie have the life she hopes for with her hero? And will the 'spider' Boklung hold his business together while funding and organising the Arcraft's voyage across the Milky Way? Spiderworld is another of Richard Bunning's quirky, speculative, science fictions.

This is a collection of 50 mixed genre flash fiction stories. Each of them is between 600 and 1000 words in length. They vary from Romance to Science Fiction, and from the banal to serious in their scope. The idea of the title is to suggest that each story can be read in the time it takes for an egg to boil, or for the bus to arrive, or to help one get through the adverts on the telly. There is no expectation that all the stories will be everyone's cup of tea, or everyone's the right sort of egg. However, the author really hopes that everyone will connect with at least some of the spectrum.

A collection of two hundred stories, of two hundred words. These micro-stories are of mixed genre. A drabble is a term used for one hundred word stories, making these double drabbles. Some of these pieces are whimsical comments rather than stories, variety being the main selection criteria. This is a good gift book, as most readers will find rewarding content.

Saints and heathens might be flip sides of the same coin. Perhaps it depends on your perspective. Can you tell which is which? This collection of stories will make you wonder where black turns to gray and gray slides into white. The demarcation between saint and heathen may not be as clear cut as you imagine. Stories of good and evil from the distant past or distant galaxies blend with tales from right around the corner. Mythology, fantasy, humor, history, and might-have-been are side-by-side in as stark a contrast as that of good and evil itself. Bite sized chunks of pure entertainment.
