Speculative Fiction from the Seven Stars
WAIT UNTIL LAST YEAR
by George Duncan
I suppose if you enjoy baseball – OK, if you’re a baseball fanatic – and deal in the science of time travel, you have to expect a few surprises from time to time. Errors – those unexpected bloopers that can change the outcome of a matchup – are just part of baseball. And, of course, there is always that unpredictable element in science. Some call it chaos theory. I just call it part of the game.

NEITHER FISH NOR FOUL
by Walt Staples
“The Law was made for Man, not Man for the Law.”– a Galilean carpenter.
Major Erik Mellien looked up from the papers in his hands at the knock on the door and called, “Come.”
The officer from the Judge Advocate General, Captain Meyer, opened the door and walked in. Mellien eyed the folder in the JAG’s hand with a distaste made up of a 60/40 mixture of experience and fear. Lawyers carrying papers were rarely a good thing in the Fallschirmjäger major’s life.

APOKALUPSIS
by James C. Clar
The four cavalrymen sat in the cold barracks and played cards by the feeble light of a kerosene lantern. The harsh wind outside the ramshackle structure carried the neighing, stomping, and snorting of their mounts from the nearby stable.
