Five Card Draw Volume II

About the Book

Five Card Draw in two volumes presents stories from five different genres. Two of these stories are novellas and two are short novels. There is science fiction, there is love. There is murder and romance. There are laughs and there are tears. There are challenging, provocative ideas as well as pure, laid back entertainment. Some pages are steaming hot, others chillingly cold. It would be hard to find a collection wider in its scope or richer in memorable characters.
