    In the year 3012 AD, America is a different place. Illegal aliens are from other planets. Police shoot first, but rarely ask any questions, and Vampires run in packs from dusk till dawn.

    Author

    Robert Moons

    Robert Moons is from the "Twilight Zone" generation. He's the guy observing the human race from the outside looking in. His stories often have twists and surprises, but by the end of the story, all the pieces should come together like a jigsaw puzzle, and hopefully it will leave the reader with a satisfying conclusion. He tries to avoid the usual overworked plots, looking instead for new creative ideas that he thinks are worth exploring. Plots such as an alien father reading a bedtime story to his son (Once Upon a Lightyear), or a metaphysical hitman killing the soul of Hitler (Lex Talionis). He does not restrict himself to any one genre, although most of his work would be in the speculative fiction category. The science fiction action/adventure novel "XIN: THE VEILED GENOCIDES" is finished. Originally known as "The Chronicles of Z'va'Xin", a 12 part Sci-Fi serial.

      An ancient predator walks amongst us.

      He is neither man nor animal.

      I have a runner here! shouted the corporal into her helmet's integrated headset.

      Location and profile? The lieutenant looked down at his watch. It was just after 2200 hours, two hours past curfew, and
