Shotgun Wedding: Unfinished Stories With Not Much in Common
by Kevin Tilley
A collection of three stories that end mid-thought. One takes place in and around a resort one might happen upon at the end of their given line. One takes place somewhere I've never been, but it's hot and not so safe. One takes place in some section of Brooklyn, not that it matters.Joshua Gray, an explorer forced to become a soldier, may be the only person who can save the human race from utter destruction at the hands of an intractable alien enemy that claims a right of return to Earth. Gray forms a friendship with a leader of the long-dispersed q-Chek - a bond forged through suffering and painful choices. Together, the two blur the lines of loyalty and sacrifice in their desperate quest for peace . . . peace at a price.
