Amid the backdrop of interstellar war, a librarian at the edge of the galaxy has to make a decision which will determine the course of the rest of his life. This 11,000-word short story is the first installment in a series of library-themed science fiction called "L is for Librarian."
Tom Bruno was born in New Jersey (Exit 3 of the Jersey Turnpike, to be precise!). An early reader, he planned his childhood activities around the weekly arrival of the county bookmobile and frequented every book store within half a day's ride of his three-speed bike.
Tom's bibliomania inevitably brought him to the Athens of America, where after a misguided attempt to become an astronaut at MIT he decided to complete his Bachelor's degree in Ancient Greek and Latin at Boston University and then his Master's degree in Library Science at Simmons College.
When he's not writing, Tom is a librarian, helping other people get their much-needed book fix!
