The Mastodon Virtual book of Mega-Astounding Sciece Fiction
3rd Edition - January 02, 2009
edited by H. E. Avenoklewz and I. M. Nutsireus
Mastodon ebooks is an imprint of no-one. You think anyone is that silly?
All rights to all compilations of ancient Tellurian material abolished in the Copyfighter Dktrvian rebellion victory constitution, July 17, 2671.
This is a Virtual Anthology of Tellurian 'science fiction' written entertainment material, which those crazy editor guys think verges on the excellent to outstanding.
Said cheapskate publisher (probably wisely, it must be said given the lack of intellect, experience or knowledge of said editorial staff) has left little space for an introduction.
The editors, however, are competent enough to point out that in the interests of authenticity, the following work is provided in archaic html 'www' technology, and each entry is what was once known as a 'URL' which was accessed via an optical pointing device apparently likened to a rodent.
Many great stories follow after the cut thingo.
