Cole. Uwięziona pokusa

AT. Michalak

Cole spełniając prośbę kolegi nie sądził, że spotka go coś niezwykłego. To miało być tylko odwrócenie uwagi i granie skrzydłowego. Nasz bohater pod wpływem uczuć zapragnie jednak zmienić swoje dotychczasowe postanowienia, niestety wydarzenia z przeszłości ciągle powracają i nie dają spokoju. Czy uda mu się przezwyciężyć bolesne wspomnienia sprzed trzech lat? Harmony nie podejrzewa nawet, że jej znajomość z Colem miała być tylko zasłoną dymną. Tym bardziej że ten wesoły i przystojny rozgrywający drużyny futbolowej był zwieńczeniem jej marzeń i najlepszym przyjacielem faceta jej koleżanki. W młodzieńczych uczuciach nic nie jest oczywiście, a dokonane wybory nie raz mogą nas zaskoczyć.

His first story, A Martian Odyssey, was published to great acclaim in July 1934. Most of the stories fall into two categories: travelogue types that explore different planets, and the others with Dixon Wells and the great scientist Van Manderpootz, who invents amazing stuff that Wells manages to use to break his own heart over and over again. A collection of stunning short stories written in the 30s but ahead of their time in their depiction of bizarre alien life forms. The final story in the book, Proteus Island, is a bit of an anomaly.
