Here is an ambitious new story about a future society run largely by the Insectoids, and a global system of dictators called the “Global Market Keepers,” which is accessed, not by flesh-and-blood humans, But by their old arrivals, the Insectoids. In 1926 on an alternate Earth, a handful of space probes far from home sped past their targets, dutifully observing, measuring, and relaying their results to eager scientists back on their Earth. The last machine had sent back images of aliens. What these missions discovered vastly changed scientists minds about other life forms in their solar system. With open arms they had welcomed the Insectoids, to save her own life; one talented woman disobeyed their laws and retrieved their jewel technology, “Jamie the Jewel.”

When Anthony Marino the Mambas was a child, I received a comic book for Christmas. I promptly read it right away. It soon became my most treasured possessions. In fact it was the inspiration for the very first story I ever wrote back in middle school. It was called “Wrath, the Warrior Within.” From that day I was hooked on writing. Today my worn comic book sits proudly on the bookshelf in my home. I was born in Albany, New York. Graduated from Schenectady High School where I wrote countless articles in the school newspaper. After graduation I joined the United States Marine Corps and served four years. These collections of short stories are only a few from countless more stories to tell.
