Henry Kramer

Guest narrator, Henry Kramer, graces Tales from the Battered Mind with two hand-picked short stories by Sara King, herself! "The Golden Directive": Collin's company has given him a directive to kill Marcus Golden. But if he does, the entire rebel structure will collapse. Besides, Collin's been fighting a different war -- a war with his programming. "The First God of Fire": A Legend of ZERO origin story! The Ooreiki and seven other cultures have, after a long and bloody battle, finally bested the fearsome Jreet. With only a few Jreet survivors asking to parley, the Ooreiki meet with their allies to discuss a final solution...

"Fairy" Dallas Kay is a prodigy.  A phenomenon.  A pain in the ass.  As a wunderkind pilot for the Utopian Space Corps, Dallas can do no wrong... Or can she? Faced off against the greatest pirate the galaxy has ever known, a pilot with skills that rival her own, Dallas finds herself in hotter water than ever. Will her skills at the throttle save her ass yet again, or is she doomed to be a desk jockey the rest of her life?  Or maybe an icy ball of space wreckage, floating in space to bump against some unsuspecting trader's front windshield... That too. This short story is set in the Millennium Potion universe, using characters from the books. "The Sheet Charmer of Broketoe" Nerys Ganlin is an untrained auldling of vast power,  a forgotten class of Auld the likes of which hasn't been seen in many generations — whose magic unfortunately only works on cloth.  Crippled as a magic user, faced with a terrifying threat of a soul-thief from ancient lore surfacing in her tiny town, with all other help vanquished or too far away to arrive in time, can Nerys alone conquer her handicap and save her village... or will she lose everyone she loves in the battle that follows? Set in Sara King's Aulds of the Spyre fantasy universe.
