Reviews

[Lynxie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Only a short story, this one takes you through an interception of an alien race's communication.

It's not anything too new, but it does pack a punch with the ending.

Tony is a master of the short story and plays on the readers preconceived ideas to perfection.

Try this one today! You won't be disappointed.
