The Deaths of Guner Zoon

by Steve Downes

Zoon watched the ground come up at him at an increasing rate. This was going to hurt more than it was going to tickle. In the few seconds he had left of this life, a thought occurred to him; he had died like this once before, a very long time ago, in a galaxy not too far away. This book is the story of that death … and many many others.
