Whispers from the Shibbo-Leth

Alien Zones

by Brian Caswell

'Fludging' is an act so dumb and dangerous that it's been banned in all but the most primitive of universes, but if you're trapped in space in a disabled T-DEM, it's really the only alternative. Of course, sometimes being trapped in space is better than finding a planet that no longer exists, inhabited only be the ghosts of people who ceased to exist at roughly the same time as the planet. Put on your snow-gear, and get ready for an avalanche of adventure in Alien Zones Web site: www.alienzones.com
