Erotica writer and geekess extraordinaire, Lynn Townsend, presents an erotic spin on science fiction. Called the "literature of ideas," science fiction is filled with futuristic settings, alien life forms, advanced technology, and space travel. Stories about the possible future have been used for centuries to frame stories to explore identity, morality, social structure, and desire. What it means to be human, among aliens. What binds us together, and what keeps us apart. From the exploration teams studying new life forms, to a woman flung to the edges of the galaxy to save (or sabotage) a ship full of alien bacteria, to the forbidden longings for other sentient species, Coming Together: Among the Stars will take readers to the very edge of the universe and back. All proceeds will support the International Still's Disease Foundation. CONTENTS Duali-Teaze (Rose Caraway) Repair Mission (Annabeth Leong) Situation Normal (Lynn Townsend) A Matter of Taste (E.S.
