Brunch at the All Alien Cafe: Short Fiction from the Entangled Universe - Paperback

by Mary E. Lowd (Author)

Aliens from across the universe cross paths at Crossroads Station. Whether passing through or building a life inside its metal halls, sentient beings of all stripes, shapes, and kinds stop by the station's premier restaurant, the All Alien Cafe, for rendezvous, chance meetings, or simply a bite to eat.

Meet reptilian S'rellick cargo haulers, fish-like Lintars, butterfly-like aliens who cut off their own wings, and a whole flock of avians who meet up to discuss flying through the gaseous clouds of New Jupiter. Make friends with a lonely elephant-like alien as she meets her true love, and visit the black market genie shop where aliens can change their species at will through gengineering. All these aliens and so many more are waiting for you.

Read 48 stories by acclaimed, award-winning author, Mary E. Lowd, and get drawn into the tangles of her rich, complicated, all-consuming universe.
