Then his friend comes to the house and leaves a copy of Frankenstein, which changes everything. "AD 1929" by Douglas W. Texter is a story describing a meeting of artistic guile and criminal muscle.

Throughout history men have risked their lives to achieve great feats of engineering: The pyramids of Giza. The Empire State building. The Panama canal. But those who build The Bridge risk their very souls. "Rotten Parchment Bonds", the latest story in the Battalion 202 series by Jonathan Doering, features Harold Storey, a quiet man praying for a quiet life after the horror of the First World War trenches. But his prayers are cruelly crushed by the German Invasion of Britain in 1941. As a police officer he is forced to co-operate with Nazi officials and is thrown into moral turmoil by the accommodations that start to be made. But perhaps there is one good man amongst the enemy ranks? This item is printed on demand.
