Sci—Fi Series 2

by Stan I.S. Law

"There was nothing human about the scream. In near total darkness, where even the stars had forsaken their shimmering sheen, within the hot breath of the steaming, churning volcanic hot springs, Astrid could only imagine the alien features contracted in a spasm of agony. Pain is pain by any other name. It hurts as much, no matter what the species. A shriek, a short silence, then a protracted whimper.“It makes your blood curl,” Astrid threw over her shoulder, busy adjusting the sensors for a directional response. “Thou shalt not interfere”, she thought momentarily. The Simulator. The same instant she dismissed the conditioned response as inapplicable. Continue in the book...From 5 STAR reviews on is pseudo science fiction that is filled with monsters and gore. That’s fine, for the young minds. But there are also the giants of the genre who seem to reach out to our potential, both, good and bad, in our not so distant future. Stan Law belongs in the later category. Fascinating what a fertile mind can produce." Review Bohdan Czytelnik (From 5-STAR reviews on Smashwords)

I have such a great time reading Law’s books; they always appeal to one’s intellect and allow your creative imagination some exercise. I have read ‘Sci-Fi series 1’ and loved it; so it only felt right that I should give ‘Sci-Fi series 2’ a try. I’m glad I did, although I don’t expect anything less from such talent.

His incredible stories, which are a combination of humor, wit and excellent story-telling, make these short stories mini- masterpieces. If anyone were to write a book under the alias of Stan I.S. Law, you would spot the imposter immediately.

I live in hope that Stan Law never stops writing; his books are a joy to read. I highly recommend this book!!
