Five Great Sci-fi Stories Mr John Andrew Tarttelin

Five Great Sci-Fi Stories The Dream Within, The Probe, On Assignment, The Keepers, Alone... In The Dream Within a reckless scientist decides to prove to his disbelieving colleagues that it is possible to latch onto ancient memories buried in junk strands of DNA and actually re-live the past. For a lonely Welsh astronomer in The Probe his humdrum stargazing becomes much more when a brilliant flash of light is seen blazing in the night sky. On Assignment deals with a tortured soul who is extremely unhappy about returning to Earth to live his seventh and last alloted life. But his reluctance to conform is not welcomed by the powers-that-be. Then an unusual way out of his predicament presents itself. In The Keepers young Amanda is blamed for an accident that releases a toxic gas into the atmosphere of Libarion threatening to wipe out 11,000 alien animals in an interplanetary zoo. In Alone Captain Jubal Metak's desire to complete his trade mission leads to an ill-judged decision that sends his vessel hurtling out of the Galaxy on a journey to nowhere.
