Space Science Fiction Anthology

This book is a collection of short stories. In each of these I wrap an interesting story around a science concept. Because I am as concerned about good internal consistency as I am good story telling, these are stories that are fun because they take different twists from those found in conventional speculative fiction. These stories are different.

Meet May, mission specialist aboard the International Space Station with an all-female crew. So when May is sent to explore the alien space ship, is it because as the newest astronaut she is the only one with space scooter training, or is it because she is expendable? How will she cope faced with two enemies, a fierce space alien and her own crippling self-doubt?

A spaceman who ekes out a living by mining precious metals from meteors comes across an incredible find - a ship drifting in space with no one aboard. When he gets inside he finds that there is actually one creature he recognizes alive - a very frightened dog - and one he does not recognize because he cannot see it: an invisible alien that seems to have destroyed and somehow disposed of the entire crew. Now he and the dog must find a way to defeat this indivisible foe or face the same fate.
