Hanuman's Gift

The Martian  is a science fiction by A. R. Hilliard and Allen Glasser.  He was an American author who worked for the state of New York. Not prolific, and little remembered today, Jones was ground–breaking in science fiction. His first story, "The Death's Head Meteor", was published in Air Wonder Stories in 1930, possibly recording the first use of "astronaut" in fiction. He also pioneered cyborg and robotic characters, and is credited with inspiring the modern idea of Cryonics. Most of his stories fit into a "future history" like that of Robert A. Heinlein or Cordwainer Smith, well before either of them used this convention in their fiction.

The Final Figure: Novelet of the Day After Tomorrow is a science fiction written by Sam Merwin, Jr. He was an American mystery fiction writer, editor and science fiction author, who published fiction mostly as Sam Merwin, Jr. His pseudonyms included Elizabeth Deare Bennett, Matt Lee, Jacques Jean Ferrat and Carter Sprague.

Reviews

Robert T. Jeschonek "sees the world like no one else sees it, and makes incredibly witty, incisive stories out of that skewed worldview." – Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Starship series

"Jeschonek´s stories are delightfully insane, a pleasure to read…" – Fabio Fernandes, Fantasy Book Critic

On "Playing Doctor":  " ...he can write about a world-dominating mad scientist from her slavishly-devoted lackey's point of view and make you empathize with both of them."--Mike Resnick

On "The Love Quest of Smidgen the Snack Cake":  "This story seems absurd until you begin to consider how much information everyone wants about us all the time. The ideas of privacy are becoming more important and less interesting to many people all at the same time and this story shows where we may end up, with only a few liberties taken to make the story more interesting." – Elton Gahr, Helium.com

On "My Cannibal Lover":  "...(the author) makes a favorable—and sympathetic—case for cannibalism."—Mike Resnick
