Publisher's Summary

Surprise, humor and suspense weave through these six spellbinding stories penned by sci-fi maverick Allen Whitlock.

  • In the novella-length "If I Should Die Before It Wakes", listeners join marine biologist John Cheswell on a Crichton-styled eco-thriller as he discovers the horror set to awaken in the world's oceans.
  • In "Concerning the Death of Robert Logan on CV-IV" a team of nerdy zenolinguists try to solve the mystery of an abandoned planet where misinterpreting one word begets astonishing consequences.
  • In "Assisted Living", a malfunction causes a robot designed for teen amusement to attain self-consciousness and lands him in an elder-care facility.
  • In "I Follow the Sun", a man and a vampire go into a Singapore bar yet only one leaves.
  • In "Killing Time", a bizarre murder confession leads a Boston detective to a group of scientists with a time machine.
  • Unveil the horrifying reason a man must always wear a blindfold in "Out of Sight".

Whitlock's imagination and wit are boundless. Get ready for a romp through time, space and dimension!
