The time is now. Strange things are happening across the globe. Four unwilling heroes are thrown into circumstances beyond their comprehension. Some react in good humor; others, with trepidation. Some will return scarred, others broken, and some will not return at all.

Somewhere in New England, a man returns to the place of his nightmares to search for his older brother, missing for thirty years, while in Central Texas a man awakes with no memory of his identity and little of his past. Elsewhere in the Southern United States, two men stumble upon a secret best left untold, and in Auckland, New Zealand a man disappears without a trace.

In this volume, four novelettes of modern pulp fiction, set in the modern day:

The Beat of Heavy Wings by Kurt Newton
Your Basic Plot by Curtis James McConnell
Illegal Aliens by G. Lloyd Helm
Hidden by Peter Glassborow
