    Adam and Alanna must stop a Corytrix from destroying Rann.

  • Walter Baade · Giants of the Telescope · 1 pages
  • Beauty and the Robot! · 8 pages

    In the first contact with an alien ship, two explorers discover hibernation chambers: one with a beautiful girl, the other with a robot - who shouldn't need to hibernate. Waking the girl, she claims to be a space policewoman, while the robot is a prisoner. But her odd queries about "Earth's rarest treasures" raise red flags as the explorers escort her to her home planet...

  • Who Caught the Loborilla? · 8 pages

    Three famed adventurers compete for a $10,000 prize to capture the one-and-only loborilla on a distant planet. Each one captures the unique creature (they think) and claims the prize. But their varied accounts conflict, and soon all three are surprised about who really caught the beast!

Publisher’s description

Alanna's father has discovered an alien egg on the planet Anthorann. The egg hatches a bird-like creature that Alanna takes on as a pet. Will our heroes discover that all is not as it seems with this creature before it's too late? Plus! "BEAUTY AND THE ROBOT!" and "WHO CAUGHT THE LABORILLA?"
