Three Degrees Beyond Reality

Jim Cue's first published book of short stories include science fiction and fantasy where everything is just a little off the worlds we know. Braxton's Pride and Blame Not These Accursed Stars tell two alternate stories of the short career of Jack the Ripper. In A Baker's Dozen college engineering whiz Chris Christopherson in a case of mistaken identity is kidnapped by the most attractive woman he's ever met; Allison Li Chen the Commander of European Commonwealth Security (Space Division); on a collision course into uncharted Ja'an territory. No King Cole is an unexpected love story that pairs the irony of The Gift of the Maji with the deception and violence of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in a world of shadowy cyber-doubles. In There's Been a Change in Me a whistleblower and his former secretary-turned-fugitive conspire to take on the Interstellar Corporation before it can make them and their secrets disappear. You'll find these stories and more in this page-turning debut.
