A small book of short stories. A woman out for revenge. A warrior, deep in the jungle, about to face a life-changing moment. A corporate executive falling just short of success. A chance meeting with a revolutionary in British India. And zombies! Welcome reader to a world of fantasy, mystery and horror. I hope this collection of stories will take you on a journey of exploration, fear and possibly self-discovery. Some of these stories draw inspiration from our everyday experiences but some....An eclectic mix of stories from the author of science fiction book series - Earth to Centauri.

A 140-year-old secret will throw three planets into chaos! The future is not what we expected. The year is 2095. India has found her rightful place as a global superpower. Voyager 1 launched in 1977 with a golden record - someone has found it and is sending a signal back to Earth. With a newly constructed faster-than-light spaceship named Antariksh, and a crew which includes novices like Lt. Manisha, as well as seasoned professionals, including Commander Ryan, Captain Anara reaches the source of the signal at the nearest star to Earth - Proxima Centauri. Before she can meet with the aliens, Anara must clear obstacles on her own ship, including a recalcitrant Artificial Intelligence and inexplicable radiation, which threatens the safety of the mission. The implications of what they find on planet Proxima B will resonate far beyond this first journey, exposing Earth to dangers on an unimaginable scale. And then Captain Anara finds out its creators buried a secret aboard Voyager 1.
