Another Life: And Other Mindbending Sci-Fi Stories

A VR addict receives an anonymous letter hooking her on the idea of true love. A starship commander, accused of killing his wife, takes a drug to absolve himself of his sins. An ex-con is forced to kill for sport to keep his captive daughter alive. An astronaut is infected by an alien pathogen that robs her of her identity. An alien race repels human colonization using their unique affinity for mushroom spores. A desert wanderer finds a sentient supercomputer with a plan to restart civilization. And a young man emerges from forty years of cryostasis, cured of a terminal disease, only to find his world has moved on just enough to leave him behind.

MIKE MARSBERGEN has written over a hundred stories, nine of which are featured here in ANOTHER LIFE, his first collection of science-fiction stories. Sometimes tragic and romantic, other times violent and disturbing, each of these nine speculative stories will take readers on a mindbending journey to places they won't expect.
