Atonement-After Earth: Ghost Stories (Short Story)
By Michael Jan Friedman. 2013
On a distant planet called Nova Prime, the United Ranger Corps defends the galaxy's remaining humans from an alien race…
known as the Skrel and their genetically engineered predators, the Ursa. For one would-be Ranger, the battle between life and death is a welcome respite from a criminal past. "Ghost Stories: Atonement" is the last of six eBook short stories that lead up to the events of After Earth, the epic science fiction adventure film directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Jaden Smith and Will Smith. Cade Bellamy is the only Ranger recruit with a criminal record. After fighting the Ursa that interrupted his arrest, Cade receives a reprieve from Prime Commander Cypher Raige, with one stipulation: Cade must stop serving himself, and preserve humanity--as a Ranger. Soon, Cade is a cadet, breezing through physical challenges but brushing off the teamwork being a Ranger demands. Cade trusts no one, perhaps not even himself, and can't help but question if the path he has chosen is the right one--unaware that the answer he seeks is an arm's length away . . . in the form of an Ursa.![](https://d1lp72kdku3ux1.cloudfront.net/title_instance/a6c/small/614279.jpg)
Savior-After Earth: Ghost Stories (Short Story)
By Michael Jan Friedman. 2013
On a distant planet called Nova Prime, the United Ranger Corps defends the galaxy's remaining humans from an alien race…
known as the Skrel and their genetically engineered predators, the Ursa--and one Ranger will learn just how high the cost of victory can be. "Ghost Stories: Savior" is the fifth of six eBook short stories that lead up to the events of After Earth, the epic science fiction adventure film directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Jaden Smith and Will Smith. Ranger Jon Blackburn wakes up from voluntary brain surgery, dazed and confused. He is a hero . . . or at least he will be one, if the delicate operation to remove his sense of fear was successful. Blackburn consented to take part in the experimental initiative to increase the Rangers' reserve of "Ghosts," soldiers whose lack of fear renders them invisible to the deadly Ursa. All indications are that it's a spectacular success--but Blackburn doesn't feel special; he doesn't feel honored when Cypher Raige, the Original Ghost, personally thanks him. In fact, he doesn't really feel much of anything. Doctors say that his fear is gone, but something else is missing, too; something Blackburn may not be able to get back, unless he can piece together this twisted jigsaw puzzle and find a way to become whole again.![](https://d1lp72kdku3ux1.cloudfront.net/title_instance/821/small/605538.jpg)

"Ghost Stories: Redemption" is the fourth of six eBook short stories that lead up to the events of After Earth, the epic science fiction adventure film directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Jaden Smith and Will Smith. Anderson Kincaid was only seven when one of the monstrous killing machines known as the Ursa tore off his arm. It would have killed him, too, had a Ranger not sacrificed her own life to save his. Ever since, Anderson has wanted to be a Ranger. After years of relentless training with an artificial limb, his hopes are crushed the day Cypher Raige himself comes knocking--to explain the Corps' strict rule against accepting applicants with prosthetics. His dream denied, Anderson joins the Civilian Defense Corps, only to find himself once again face-to-face with an Ursa. No savior in sight, he must rely on himself--and a power he never knew he had--to survive.![](https://d1lp72kdku3ux1.cloudfront.net/title_instance/941/small/600699.jpg)
Birthright-After Earth: Ghost Stories (Short Story)
By Peter David. 2012

known as the Skrel and their genetically engineered predators, the Ursa. But when one Ranger discovers the secret to destroying the enemy, she faces a decision no one should have to make.

Night Shyamalan and starring Jaden Smith and Will Smith. After watching her husband die in a horrible accident, Mallory McGuiness has only one option: Keep working. Rangers have duties. Responsibilities. Mallory is just that--an ordinary Ranger--until she vanquishes one of the nearly invincible Ursa and realizes she is much, much more. Unfortunately, the power to save the human race from extinction comes riddled with questions, conflicts, and no guarantees, only impossible choices. Frustrated by her suddenly tame assignments, Mallory considers jumping the chain of command, taking her grievance directly to Commanding General Cypher Raige. But she stifles the impulse long enough to tangle with destiny on a desert mission where nothing's supposed to go wrong . . . and everything does.![](https://d1lp72kdku3ux1.cloudfront.net/title_instance/85b/small/596021.jpg)

By Robert Greenberger. 2012
On a distant planet called Nova Prime, the United Ranger Corps defends the galaxy's remaining humans from an alien race…

"Ghost Stories: Peace" is the second of six eBook short stories that lead up to the events of After Earth, the epic science fiction adventure film directed by M. Night Shyamalan and starring Jaden Smith and Will Smith. Kevin Diaz's parents raised him as a pacifist--hence their outrage upon learning their son is joining the Ranger ranks. But Kevin believes that peace is worth fighting for. And fight he must, to withstand a surprise onslaught of Ursa. As Prime Commander Cypher Raige launches a counteroffensive, Kevin arrives in time to watch both comrades and civilians cut down in a nightmare of blood and terror. Suddenly, he understands that being a Ranger, even the best Ranger, isn't enough against an enemy that can disappear at will, strike with lightning speed, and tear a man in half with one swipe. Kevin took an oath to preserve humanity, but to do so, he'll have to blaze a path few others have.![](https://d1lp72kdku3ux1.cloudfront.net/title_instance/ff8/small/2451680.jpg)

Sudden Sex: 69 Sultry Short Stories
By Alison Tyler. 2013
Maybe one of the hidden benefits of everyone being so darn busy is the rise of the quickie! No one…
writes fresh fiction on quick sex better than Alison Tyler who has probably inspired more time-efficient trysts that any other eroticist. Whether at the office with your boss, in a restaurant restroom or naughty nooners with your long-time love, Tyler's Sudden Sex will have you dialing up a booty call stat! Alison Tyler says: "My favorite short stories brand new. Crisp and focused, taut and tight. The pieces in this collection are waiting for you to slide them on, button the fly, then turn and admire how well they fit your kink. Because--as everyone who knows me understands by now--I'm all about the kink. This collection features BDSM, spanking, toys, tools, girls gone bad and men who need it just as bad. I've assembled stories from writers I've worked with for nearly two decades as well as wordsmiths who are new to me. What do the pieces have in common? Each one maxes out at 1500 words. That's not a lot of small talk. We've cut the awkward getting to know you phase and instead parked you right up at the point. We're past first base, past second, on our way to third. His hand is under your skirt; her palm is on your cock--we're all adults here--no need to fight the fact that sometimes what we crave is simple: sudden sex." Take a breath. Bite your lip. Get ready to get off.
