About this ebook

Dead Reckoning And Other Stories. SF with attitude! Looking for SF that's intelligent, action-packed, and humorous? This collection of ten short stories features a cast of characters all in need of some serious therapy.

Hector discovers life after death ain't easy when your shorts itch and your ass belongs to a whip-wielding giant.

And Murphy's fighting to keep the peace as his team of geeky scientists and a gung-ho lieutenant investigate a mysterious alien ship—all while dealing with his own case of Murphy's Law.

First Contact is always complicated, especially when you have to call in cranky old relic, Casteneda, to bail you out.

Fresh off the battlefield, Matt Holbrook is also grappling with a perplexing new species, but all he wants is to make it home.

And Earl Duarte is in for some interesting pet therapy in How Much Is That Doggy?

Stories include:

Dead Reckoning
How Much Is That Doggy?
Dust To Dust
Murphy's Law
Reboot
Version Control
A Slight Imperfection
First Contact
He Who Controls
One For The Money.

David M. Kelly is also the author of the Joe Ballen sci-fi noir thriller series (Mathematics Of Eternity, Perimeter, and Transformation Protocol) along with a number of other stand alone short stories.
