Welcome to the second stage of Plan 559, the annual SF anthology series from Five59 Publishing. I grew up loving all things science fiction. Stars (both Trek and Wars). Watching Tarantula grow to the size of a baseball diamond because of radioactive fallout. Godzilla destroying Tokyo every Saturday afternoon on the Creature Feature for the same reason, along with his compadres Rodan, Gamera, and Mecha-Godzilla... Spaceflight flicks from cheesy to epic; 2001. Alien. Pitch Black. The Fifth Element. The Martian — not necessarily in that order — Battlestar Galactica both old and new, and, of course, Firefly. Now we’re pleased to bring this second edition of P559 to you, with a dozen tales for your enjoyment, and expect that there will be many more to come.
Alan Seeger was born in San Francisco, California, in 1959 to two transplants from Missouri. He grew up in Denver and Oklahoma City, and spent ten years in the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas, as well as ten years on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He is now back in Northwest Arkansas.
