    About this ebook

    Nine sci-fi stories of space opera, adventure, romance, and humor. None of the stories are intended to be hard sci-fi, though some readers may consider a few to be moderately so.
    After a long journey in space an astronaut returns to Earth to find it deserted, except for robots and androids, at war with each other.
    The empress of the galaxy offers a space pirate amnesty if he rescues her daughter from rebels.
    An alien tries to take over the mind of an Earthman, but is only partially successful.
    The fate of planet Earth is in the hands of a small group of deer hunters.
    A man learns that the god his people worship is nothing more than an ancient computer, and places his life in peril.
    A homeless alcoholic meets a space alien.
    More.

    Donald H Sullivan

    I'm a native Floridian, retired from the US Army, I started writing in the army, mostly training and tech manuals. Boring stuff, but it whetted my interest in writing. I've written sci-fi, thrillers, mysteries, humor, fantasies, horror, and more. I'm now living in NC. While in the army, I served in air defense artillery, military intelligence, and psychological operations. I also worked in Federal Civil Service as a quality assurance specialist, ammunition surveillance. I love writing, reading, most kinds of music, and animals--especially dogs.

      Us Animals: Writing the Natural World Back into the Human

      Apr 25, 2018

      There are so many ways for a nest to fail. So many ways for a sentence to fail. In my years as a field biologist I watched how the natural world dealt with the inevitability of failure—in life, mating, reproduction, predation. Unaware, I began to tra
