A Dana Sanderson Short Mystery
An excerpt from Glory Lane and the Humid Holiday
Dana had always been more comfortable with codes and computers than people."We got a missing persons report on Rich Walters a couple of days ago," Michelle said. "Only had a plane ticket to go on. We've had the word out, but he disappeared after he flew into Miami. Not a trace until right here, last night."Michelle held up one of those evidence bags with a scuffed brown leather wallet inside, with a loose driver's license pressed against the plastic.Dana glanced the alley where a few uniforms still lingered, heads down. "He's not… Is he over there?"Michelle looked over her shoulder, then turned back to Dana with a grin."Don't worry, Dana. He's not dead, not that we know of. But Rich Walters isn't just missing. He's disappeared into thin air."

Farm of the Dead Things
1968. The Glenda Barker incident. The dead things rose. People died. And Stefan Roland was on the scene to capture it all in glorious film.
It wasn’t planned. You didn’t plan life-changing and career-making events like that. You kept reporting and maybe you got lucky. Maybe you got something so big that the Inquisition couldn’t keep it quiet or hush it up. Maybe you got to show the world what was going on.
And if you were really lucky, maybe you survived the dead things instead of becoming one.

Disztópia 2038
Vogronics Andrásnak hívnak. 1974-ben születtem Budapesten. Gyerekkoromban faltam az indiános könyveket, imádtam a spagettiwesterneket. Budapesten laktam, de gyermekként a nyári vakációkat vidéken töltöttem. Traumákkal, örömökkel, nagy barátságokkal, valamint csalódásokkal és reményekkel átszőtt kalandos gyermekkorom volt, amelybe utat talált a történelem, a közélet és politika iránti érdeklődés és szeretet is. Mindezt annak köszönhetem, hogy kedvenc általános iskolai történelemtanárom a dolgok mögötti rejtett összefüggések megtalálására és az ezek nyomán felmerülő kérdések megválaszolására buzdított. Azóta is alapvetően kritikusan szemlélem a társadalmi folyamatokat és a politika mocsarába süllyedt hétköznapokat. Pár éve vendégíróként publikálom cikkeimet a Kolozsvári Szalonna hírportálján. Miután heti rendszerességgel elkezdtem közölni e könyv fejezeteit is, végül úgy döntöttem, hogy kiadom egyben az egészet. Remélem a regény olvasójának is legalább annyi öröme telik majd az olvasásában, mint nekem a megírásában.

About the book:
What if a few people's imagination which you don't believe in, comes true to mess your life?

How did I make it out? This book is all about how it all began. Now this guy with an experience of six days has to defeat a commander - in - chief.About the author:
Mohit L. Kumar, never heard of this name? That's because this book is his first release.Being a thirteen years old student even now, he wasn't quite confident about this series. Hearing stories about Hindu Mythology from his grandpa and grandma he had a keen interest in this topic which drove him into making this series. Still continuing his schooling in Saint Lawrence, he comes from a town in Odisha called Angul. He read books by different authors and studied their take on Hindu Mythology and finally he presents his version. He has other hobbies like dancing and playing guitar.
"At least once, you all might have wondered, what if we were connected to someone great back from the ancient times? If yes, then this book will surely make you assured of your thoughts. Arjun Roy was fun writing. Those who know me will easily find him a penned down version of me. Here goes my vision to you. I hope you enjoy the most out of it. Waiting for me to note my achievements? Sorry, I don't have anything to present here." ~ Mohit

Sci-fi žáner poznáme aj pod pojmom vedecko-fantastická literatúra, poprípade science fiction. V týchto dielach sa dostaneme do budúcnosti, pričom dej sa opiera o súčasnú vedu, techniku a o predpoklady jej ďalšieho vývoja. Medzi hlavné témy sci-fi patrí pokročilá veda a technológia, prieskum vesmíru, cestovanie v čase, paralelné vesmíry a mimozemský život. Sci-fi má pravdepodobne svoje korene v antickej mytológii. Súvisí s fantasy, hororom a fikciou o superhrdinoch. Sci-fi v literatúre, filme, televízii a iných médiách sa stala populárnou a vplyvnou vo veľkej časti sveta. Nazýva sa tiež „literatúra myšlienok“ a často skúma potenciálne dôsledky vedeckých, sociálnych a technologických inovácií.

Fantasy literatúra vytvára bohaté a detailné fiktívne svety, ktoré sa líšia od realistického prostredia. Príbehy z tohto žánru sa často zameriavajú na hrdinské cesty, dobrodružstvá, boje medzi dobrom a zlom, epické konflikty a príbehy o nadprirodzených schopnostiach a magických predmetoch.
