Going Up?: ...and Other Stories

by Mackey Chandler

A collection of short stories. Stand alone and two that are related. Looking at ideas as different as an alien religious mission to Earth and a young hillbilly who greets Earths new conquerors. A very short story of indeterminate genre, and two stories with some time between them that may eventually be connected if I live long enough...

A life long time reader of Science Fiction, the authors at Baen's Bar and their evening chat room motivated him to try his own hand at writing. His first effort was a short story titled "Common Ground" which sold to the short-lived Jim Baen's Universe.

Reviews

[Terry Gero · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have drawn a conclusion that the author through his dealings in life has grown a great dislike of ungrateful, disrespectful, self-serving military and civilian government officers after reading all his books now. Did I leave any out? Also uses the term "nice-nice" in most of his stories. I find it rather odd.

A strange collection of strange stories

I liked some of the stories more than the others. In particular, the stories that involved human and alien interaction was engaging.
