The Last Moonshot and Other Stories collects seven of Vaughan Stanger's previously published science fiction and fantasy tales and five pieces of nano-length fiction. These original and imaginative stories encompass a wide range of themes relevant to our lives now. From encounters with dead people in a virtual forest to a meme that triggers an apocalypse. From a space mission mounted by a street gang to a desperate attempt to save our planet from climate disaster. Some can be read and digested in a minute, others will keep you thinking for a long time.
Some of these stories are currently free to read online. Please visit Vaughan Stanger's website for links to them.
