    About this series

    A rover captain with job security receives an unusual message from his drone on a remote asteroid:

    "So good to see you."

    Suddenly, his job seems somewhat less secure.

    So does his life.

    From the story:

    "Although the distinct, familiar whirring noise of his drone Leia had long been silenced in the vacuum of space, everyone on the crew had a saying: "Just Keep 'Em Whirring."

    It meant that, as long as the robotic equipment was operational, any screw-up could be overcome with persistence and a healthy dose of panic.

    About midnight, Leia stopped in her tracks, and Bruce instantly wished he could hear whether or not she continued to whir."

    Daniel Eness

    Daniel Eness writes stories of strange adventure where the hero always wins, except those times when he dies spectacularly in an explosion. He lives in Iowa with his family of six, for whom he writes of the churning seascape of the soul, deep evil and the hope that has overcome them both. His work has appeared in Stupefying Stories, Ideomancer, Diagram and Brain Harvest Magazine, and, in 2012, Eortholic Press will release two novels, a novella and a collection of short adventures.
