Some Time: It starts…badly! by Frank Neary

“You are technically dead, on Earth, but you haven’t actually died.” Whipped away from Earth, whilst mid-crossword, on a packed morning commuter train. Not a great start to the day and not a great start to a new life as the only passenger on a sentient spaceship – but that’s not the worst thing that’s going to happen to our bemused hero. Now, it’s kill or be killed in savage hand-to-hand contests against strange alien foes desperate to win at all costs. At least the all-powerful spaceship provides. Inbetween terrifying fights, it’s the best of everything Earth can offer, in untold abundance. And so the fun begins. But does our hero have a dark secret – and does the ship have an even darker one?
