About this ebook

Shards is an Anthology of five Short Stories and includes The Tale of Arc1 and Core 3: Is the Tale of an Advanced Civilization following their science through to a startling conclusion; that their Universe is not alone. All the Bright Children: In all the worlds of humanity, greed, cruelty and excess seem to be a constant. On the verge of manhood, a boy relates his experience with these human constants. Shards: War is hell. Sometimes when you think you are done with it, it has not done with you. How do you return from a war that everyone else is done with? The Garden Sea: A familiar Tale delivered with a slice of oddness and a twist of whimsy. Who knows where some of our most enduring myths actually come from? Swan and Song: A Novella about a quest to find a Black Swan, and what this means to two staff members of the Numinous Constraint Agency. Shards spans four decades of writing in the compilation and represents the best of Caldon Mull's short works to date.
