Twelve-Furlong Mile and Other Works of Short Fiction
Autor Steve Scotten Limba Engleză Paperback
In the short story "Twelve-Furlong Mile," two young men take their annual trip to Las Vegas, eager to escape the rigors of their daily lives. The "End of Latency" and "Summer Trade" are science fiction tales, refreshing in their approach to the genre. "Ken and the Princess" and "Friendly Wager" are about the pursuit of true love--obtainable--but always at a price. "The Adventures of Dan Wetmeyerbent" is a story about the trials of an eighth-grader assigned to write a column for his school newspaper. Perhaps the most touching story, "The Wingman," brings a whole new perspective to the fabled, trusty sidekick designation for one man at an out-of-town work seminar.
The stories--and their surprise endings--are a reflection of the author Steve Scott's appreciation for the original television show, "The Twilight Zone." The twisting plot lines, while always believable, will, at the same time, bowl you over.
