Alien Assignation   Galactic Year: 3008 It would seem that as the Terrans finally ventured from their Planet Earth, and out into other solar systems beyond their own Region 806, they came into contact with the RAWR star system containing the planet now called Erda. In ages past, their neighboring planet with three moons suffered long periods of intercontinental warfare, plagues, famines, depopulation, pollution and even some natural disasters. A few of the survivors were found and taken to nearby Erda by some of the first Terran Dark Energy powered hyper-space spheres to reach the solar system. The Terrans then joined with those from other overpopulated star systems in colonizing and repopulating both planets.

The Red Horizon   FOREWORD To Patrick MacGill,Rifleman No. 3008, London Irish.Dear Patrick MacGill, There is open in France a wonderful exhibition of the work of the many gallant artists who have been serving in the French trenches through the long months of the War. There is not a young writer, painter, or sculptor of French blood, who is not risking his life for his country. Can we make the same proud boast? When I recruited you into the London Irishone of those splendid regiments that London has sent to Sir John French, himself an Irishmanit was with gratitude and pride. You had much to give us. The rare experiences of your boyhood, your talents, your brilliant hopes for the future. Upon all these the Western hills and loughs of your native Donegal seemed to have a prior claim. But you gave them to London and to our London Territorials. It was an example and a symbol. The London Irish will be proud of their young artist in words, and he will for ever be proud of the London Irish Regiment, its deeds and valour, to which he has dedicated such great gifts. May God preserve you. Yours sincerely, Esher, President County of Londo, Callander. Territorial Association, 16th September, 1915. CONTENTS Chapter. I. THE PASSING OF THE REGIMENT II.

ROMANCE an excerpt from: CHAPTER 1 The Passing of the Regiment I wish the sea were not so wideThat parts me from my love;I wish the things men do belowWere known to God above. I wish that I were back againIn the glens of Donegal;They'll call me coward if I return,But a hero if I fall. 'Is it better to be a living coward,Or thrice a hero dead?''It's better to go to sleep, my lad,'The Colour Sergeant said. Night, a grey troubled sky without moon or stars. The shadows lay on the surface of the sea, and the waves moaned beneath the keel of the troopship that was bearing us away on the most momentous journey of our lives. The hour was about ten. Southampton lay astern; by dawn we should be in France, and a day nearer the war for which we had trained so long in the cathedral city of St. Albans. I had never realized my mission as a rifleman so acutely before. 'To the war! to the war!' I said under my breath. 'Out to France and the fighting!' The thought raised a certain expectancy in my mind. 'Did I think three years ago that I should ever be a soldier?' I asked myself. 'Now that I am, can I kill a man; run a bayonet through his body; right through, so that the point, blood red and cruelly keen, comes out at the back? I'll not think of it.'
