Trapped on an insane Company bioship with a dead crew, murderous survivors and heading for certain destruction…just another day at the office for Vatic. Experimental Company bioship, the CSS Ariadne, has cut all communications and launched herself into hyperspace—heading towards enemy territory and certain destruction if she cannot be stopped. The crew managed to send out an SOS before the Ariadne disappeared. Someone was murdered… but who? Vatic, a Skilled empath in the reluctant employ of the Company, is drugged and forced to board the rogue ship. He arrives to find the vessel full of corpses, a small band of suspicious survivors, and no explanations. Our hero soon realises that not everyone who survived is as they seem. There is an imposter aboard, but who is it, and what are their motives? Vatic must use all his talents if he and the ship are going to survive. But survival is what the Skilled do best... isn't it?

He's a crack empath detective on the run. But when the soulless 'Company' bring him back to solve a complex murder, can Vatic escape with his life? A top Company scientist has been murdered. Vatic, an on-the-run half-alive empath with no memory of who or what he is, will die in six-hours if he can’t find out why—or so the Company tells him—an ‘added incentive to get the job done’. Our hero soon discovers he is one of the Skilled, a genetically enhanced human—revered and despised in equal measure—a bloodhound with a terrifying past who’ll stop at nothing in his pursuit of truth. And ‘the Skilled always get their guy’… don’t they? BUY Vatic - a non-stop, page-turning, burn of a read!

How do different ethnic groups approach the short story form? Do different groups develop culture-related themes? Do oral traditions within a particular culture shape the way in which written stories are told? Why does "the community" loom so large in ethnic stories? How do such traditional forms as African American slave narratives or the Chinese talk-story shape the modern short story? Which writers of color should be added to the canon? Why have some minority writers been ignored for such a long time? How does a person of color write for white publishers, editors, and readers? Each essay in this collection of original studies addresses these questions and other related concerns. It is common knowledge that most scholarly work on the short story has been on white writers: This collection is the first work to specifically focus on short story practice by ethnic minorities in America, ranging from African Americans to Native Americans, Chinese Americans to Hispanic Americans. The number of women writers discussed will be of particular interest to women studies and genre studies researchers, and the collections will be of vital interest to scholars working in American literature, narrative theory, and multicultural studies.

Desy was part Organic, part Genetic. She had been created in a lab, and looked nothing like her family. She hated the fact that she looked different from her brothers. She grew up listening to her brothers tell a family legend that had been handed down through many generations. The legend promised that someday a brilliant orb of light would appear. And, on that day a mystical transformation would take place. A selected ancestor of days long forgotten would find a special person, and together they would travel to a place beyond tomorrow. Now, Desy's world was about to come to an end. It had been abused for too many generations, and there was no longer any hope for a future. As Desy sat and cried under a scraggly tree, she unknowingly wrapped her fingers around a shiny stone fragment. Suddenly, her world spun and disappeared, leaving her swirling inside a purple mist. When she stopped spinning, she found herself just beyond tomorrow.
