Implanting them into the brains of interested buyers is just as easy, and quite profitable. Meet Jeremiah Jones: visionary, entrepreneur, sociopath. Name your dream. Name your price.

Download or read book How Mal 780 written by Paul J Belanger and published by Lost Luggage Studios LLC. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the Sol-Bect War saga comes How Mal 780, a collection of stories in a variety of genres, from horror to science fiction to farce. In fact, the only thing these stories have in common is their How Mal code. The United States Air Force uses number codes to describe the condition of parts in or from an aircraft. This is called a "How Malfunction" code, or "How Mal" for short. The How Mal code 780 indicates the part is bent, buckled, collapsed, dented, distorted, or twisted. The twelve stories in How Mal 780 carefully fall into any, or all, of the above designations. Some stories push the boundaries of good taste, and some clearly step over that line, shotgun in hand. From a garage band pursued by Killer Dogs to a pair of Geeks on a zany road trip to Miami, these stories will entertain and/or confuse you. So grab a beer and a bucket and start reading today!

Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground. But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems.
