With any luck, this page will remain under construction and subject to revision for as long as the author draws breath. The fidelity to available links should therefore always remain incomplete. Some I haven’t gotten around to yet, others I have simply over-looked. Please feel free to inform us of  out-dated information, omissions or broken links.

TARGETS

These three stories, all published in 2020, appeared in a trilogy of anthologies whose contributors were challenged to depict three episodes from a dystopic future. The first story would depict the world sliding into the dystopia, the second would depict the dystopia at its peak, and the third would depict the world recovering. They are nominally science fiction, but the first story here could easily take place today.

1. “The Truth About the Boy,” The Dystopian Triptych, Vol. 1.
2. “The Proscribed Words,” The Dystopian Triptych, Vol. 2.
3. #- “Blood Relations,” The Dystopian Triptych, Vol 3.

THE AISOURCE INFECTION

These stories are part of an ongoing future history, additional pieces of the same mystery explored in my Andrea Cort novels Emissaries from the Dead, The Third Claw of God, and The War of the Marionettes. There is a connection between these stories and the Vossoff and Nimmitz stories, but it should not be wholly trusted, as the Vossoff and Nimmitz stories are comedy salad and not meant to be internally consistent. The stories marked with asterisks are Andrea Cort adventures. The stories marked by (D) are adventures of the retired spy, Draiken.
