A Collection of Stories

Beyond the year 2022, the Earth is experiencing scarcity that people dare to travel in space to find either raw materials or a new habitat. If they cant find one, they may make one. Humans are slowly but surely getting accustomed to meet alien life-forms from different galaxies, and the new experience is quite an adventure. With this big leap in intergalactic happenstance, could it be that the Apocalypse is just a rumor? a myth? Or something just intervenes?

Duain Bennetts rich imagination creates a spur of the moment, humorous collection of sci-fi spoofs that could have taken place anywhere at anytime.
