They Came Back
About this ebook
Rediscover the earliest works of bestselling science fiction author Ron Collins in They Came Back, a captivating collection of newly unearthed stories, each originally published in the pages of Radius, one of the first digital magazines to ever exist.
“The Spearhead” – In a world of galactic intrigue, what does it mean to be a patriot?
“Night School” – High schools are futuristic combat zones, the students soldiers. Prestige is only a raid away.
“A Corner of the Mind” – Jack, an extra-talented young boy, faces his first Christmas since losing his mother in a devastating space accident.
That’s not all! Step through time to encounter “The Train Robbery,” a western heist adventure born in Collins’s school days. With the wisdom of experience and advice from former teachers, Collins reimagines this lost gem to delightful effect in “The Hero.”
They Came Back is a collection that ignites the imagination and illuminates the past.
