Consider All The Worlds
Acquiring world-changing technology when bartering with visiting aliens can’t go wrong. Can it?
The universe has become a dangerous place for the only person still writing poetry. And it’s not safe for those who shield him either.
Traveling back in time when the present is so boring sounds great. And when it’s just your mind going back, the experience should be even better.
The descendants of those who first boarded the generation ship have finally found a habitable planet after ages. But there’s one hitch.
These and other science fiction/fantasy tales can be found in the short story collection Consider All The Worlds by Mike L. Downey. Re-ignite your passion for reading with these imaginative yarns filled with aliens, space travel, and at least one dragon.

Many worlds and a whole lot of wholesomeness

I'm a bit biased since the author is my father and the person who fostered my love of reading. But I'll give a detailed review regardless!

These are my favorites, in published order within the book:
-For a Limited Time Only
-Dragons Don't Surf
-As Real as the Strand (favorite overall)
-The Vapor of Memory When Loving This Alien
-The Tiny Find at Journey's End (kept picturing Smurfs)
There are some fun running jokes (the Aaron Cohen), a great mix of story length, genuine humor, and heart. I know the author has a lifetime love of science fiction--he introduced me to Star Wars at 5 and the John Carter of Mars books some years later--and is hoping to reinvigorate the short story genre.
It's a cliche for a reason, but there IS something in here for everyone! From fans of dragons, mysteries, religious musings, literary greats, friendship, romance, and more.
