'All Aliens Like Burgers'
by Ruth Wheeler
Young, polite and intelligent Tom Bowler has barely ever ventured out of the small English town where he grew up. So when he applies for a job in a fast food restaurant at a “local” service station during his gap year he is rather surprised to discover that the vacancy is in fact based on Truxxe, a planetoid stationed between local galaxies Triangulum and Andromeda. He’s surprised further still to find himself becoming friends with a purple alien and that he has strange feelings for his android supervisor, Miss Lola. Tom soon discovers that Truxxe has many hidden secrets - just what makes it so special? And why is its terrain so rich and varied that it can be used for fuelling such a diverse variety of intergalactic spacecraft? What are the Glorbian space pirate brothers Schlomm and Hannond plotting? And just what is it that they put in those burgers?

'Tales in Dark Languages'
by Cynthia Garland
Geoffrey Midori is a magician and raconteur - a purveyor of ancient tales, lost arts, and dark secrets - and he is having trouble sleeping. His nights are plagued by vivid dreams, bouts of sleepwalking, and a strange sensation that he is not alone in the dark. He takes a break from his travels with a caravan of performers to visit friends, only to find that their daughter is having troubles of her own. She has come of age, and is exhibiting certain specific traits from a vilified race that was exterminated centuries ago - traits that elicit fear and suspicion from those around her. When the authorities come to investigate, Geoffrey takes her on the run. Aided by his companions in the caravan - a soothsayer, dream interpreter, medicine showman, astrologer, and strong man - he must use his fragmented knowledge of ancient mythologies to unlock the secrets of the dead races - all the while battling his own demons and keeping one step ahead of the agents who are pursuing them.
