The Lost (The Outer Limits #4)
by John PeelFrom inside the book: Stacy was stunned. Justin's hair had been cropped short, and he looked like he'd scrubbed his face. Instead of jeans and a T-shirt, he was wearing a shirt and tie, with slacks and dark shoes instead of sneakers. "Jeez!" she exclaimed. "What did they do to you? Put you on Oprah for a makeover?" His face lit up. "Hi, Stacy," he said, cheerfully. "It's great to see you." She pulled away from him slightly. "Justin? Are you okay?" "Never better, sweetheart," he assured her. Sweetheart? Stacy stared at him, totally confused. He never called her that! What was going on here? "What happened to you?" Amy asked, considerably less tactful than Stacy. She stared at Justin. "What's with the middle-class poster boy look?" He frowned slightly. "I don't know what you mean," he confessed. "The clothes,'" Amy said, gesturing. "Why are you dressed like that? Your folks get really heavy with you because of your arrest?'' "Arrest?" Justin looked completely astonished. "Me? Arrested?" He laughed. "You're pulling my leg, right? Amy, you crack me up. Arrested? Me!" He laughed. Stacy was getting the chills clean through to the bone. What was going on here? This looked like Justin-except for the clothes. It sounded like Justin-except he was polite. There was no way that this was Justin.

Lost Aeons
by Berl Cameron Denis HughesFew adventures in the annals of spatial conquest have aroused so much interest and speculation as the discovery, some ten years ago, of Cloris 2. Often described nowadays as a small, exotic world of infinite charm, Cloris 2 is regarded as an ideal holiday resort. It now boasts some of the best hotels and playgrounds in the universe, yet no so long ago it was deserted, peopled only by the ghosts of a long dead race.Belonging to a neighbouring galaxy, Cloris 2 was well outside the exploration range of the vessels of the time, and could only have been visited through a mischance, without hope of return. Such a chance was forced on a handful of people caught up in the mesh of an operation which began long in the past - they had no choice. The discovery of Cloris 2 is one of human courage and the hand of the unexpected, piracy, narrow escapes from alien defence and the ghosts of past tragedy.

Lost Among the Stars: Eleven Tales
by Paul Di FilippoA genre-bending collection of speculative fiction from the acclaimed author of the Steampunk Trilogy—with an introduction by Robert Silverberg. Horror, alternative history, science fiction, and fantasy—nothing is off limits when you possess an imagination as vast as Paul Di Filippo&’s. In this collection of stories featuring ancient goddesses, the new social media elite, and hermetic cities, he&’ll take you on a wild ride through plausible pasts and far-flung futures. In &“Ghostless,&” a medium learns that ghosts are drawn to—and can alleviate—sadness, so she becomes a matchmaker to both spirts and mortals in need. Flash fiction published in Nature magazine, &“Wavehitcher&” shows how surfing goes high-tech—and long-distance—with smartsuits that desalinate water, pulsed magnets to repel sharks, and seines that catch and processes krill into a nutritious paste. An expert in industrial metabolics focuses on blending his superior genepool with that of his fiancée&’s to save the human race from idiocracy, until a kidnapping in Colombia shows him the folly of his arrogance in &“Adventures in Cognitive Homogamy.&” These stories will whet your appetite for more fantastical Di Filippo, and thankfully, Lost Among the Stars delivers. Praise for Paul Di Filippo &“Di Filippo is like gourmet potato chips to me. I can never eat just one of his stories.&” —Harlan Ellison &“Di Filippo is the spin doctor of SF—and it is a powerful medicine he brews.&” —Brian Aldiss, Hugo Award–winning author of Hothouse &“Vibrant, nervy, and full of gloriously wiggy language, Ribofunk is anything but the same old stuff.&” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
