Raymond Bolton&#8217;s <em>Awakening<\/em> shows a fantasy civilization on the cusp of the industrial revolution faced with an alien invasion. You&#8217;ll read different adventures on very different lunar colonies in Gray Rinehart&#8217;s <em>Walking on the Sea of Clouds<\/em>, Lou Agresta&#8217;s <em>Club Anyone<\/em>, and T. Allen Diaz&#8217;s <em>Lunatic City<\/em>, as well as Louis Antonelli&#8217;s alternate space race in Dragon-Award nominee <em>Another Girl, Another Planet<\/em>. Jody Lynn Nye&#8217;s <em>Taylor&#8217;s Ark<\/em> follows the adventures of a veterinarian to the stars, and Brenda Cooper&#8217;s Endeavor-Award winning <em>The Silver Ship and the Sea<\/em> is a gripping story of prisoners of war abandoned on a rugged colony planet. Acclaimed, award-winning author Paul di Filippo gives a collection of his best stories in <em>Lost Among the Stars<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And for thrilling military SF, the bundle also has <em>Honor and Fidelity<\/em> by Andrew Keith and William H. Keith, <em>Recruit<\/em> by Jonathan P. Brazee, and the hilarious adventures of Phule&#8217;s Company in Robert Lynn Asprin&#8217;s <em>Phule&#8217;s Paradise<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Take Note: <strong>This Adventure SF StoryBundle runs for only three weeks.<\/strong> You can pay the minimum price to get the books, or you can pay more and designate a portion to support the Challenger Learning Centers for Space Science Education.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.graymanwrites.com\/pix\/blog\/2017\/SFAdventureBundleWFP.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"650\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More details &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The StoryBundle has two purchase levels.
