Bode was a loner, more by chance then intention. He was always on the lookout for things to aid his survival, and some of the things he found were to change his life and those of his friends forever. His little clan was all that was left (as far as he knew) after the holocaust brought about by man's foolishness, and that was bound up in mysticism and myth - which didn't help their survival one little bit.By pushing his luck to the limit, and taking chances no others would dare, he forged a new life - and hope for what was left of mankind. This bite-sized tale from David Reynolds-Moreton foreshadows possible histories of his other fascinating stories such as The Tribe and Of Wood, Metal and Glass.
He woke up in the midst of a terrifying storm, alone in an ice-cave. He has no memory of where, who or even, after examining himself WHAT he was.As the storm passed, he recalled one fact - he served an unknown master, forced to collect crystals from the icy wastes outside in return for a drug that would grant temporary relief from the pain of remembering his past.But outside, his world was changing, the ice melting and with that his resolve to discover the truth mounted. "Filled with amazing landscapes and creatures D.B. Reynolds-Moreton crafts yet another fascinating tale, with an intelligent plotline and a heart warming conclusion."

Jassic Koblintz or as he was known to the greater universe, Jas was destined for great things. Cherry-Picked from university by 'The Grey Man' and indoctrinated into the great and secret organisation within the Confederation of Planets formally known as 'The Seekers', but to those in the know, 'The Sweepers'.His undercover work to seek out and CORRECT members of society on planets within the Confederation exceeded all expectations - and soon, that work was to take on a far greater significance. "David Reynolds-Moreton lifts the lid on the secret forces that seek to control criminality within the galaxy. He does so with the clarity and imagination of the great masters of sci-fi." - SFC Editor
Long after the mighty dogs of war had barked their last three primitive settlements struggle to survive, distant but connected by a fragile wooden trackway. Brent sails the trackways between the settlements, ferrying materials and goods from his forest edge settlement and the metalworkers and outwards to the glass workers.The desert wastelands between the three settlements are being consumed by an unknown force, gigantic funnels into which the parched sands are being slowly sucked. But there is something more, a malevolent cloud-like presence haunts the desert.Brent is uncommonly inquisitive and against the decree of the elders stumbles upon a hitherto undiscovered treasure house - an entire department store, buried and overgrown by the forest over the countless years. And so change comes to the three settlements, but not in the way that they had expected."With a wry nod to other books in his 'Sapient Continuum' series, D. B. Reynolds-Moreton shows us life after the last great war. The inhabitants of this land react to the strange remains of an earlier civilisation in a totally believable fashion. This is good solid, intelligent sci-fi." - SFC Editor.
