So, after much hassle with formatting in both books, I've finally got my second short SF collection, Denying Gravity. I believe it's an improvement on the first. The third is in the works, hopefully year's end/early next. Lots of adventure, fantasy, exploration, and a bit of satire and darkness. Link is at the end, and I hope you find them interesting. BTW, there are WAY too many books called Defying Gravity so I decided on something different.

“’Catching Light’ is brimming with significant themes, imaginative scenarios and stimulating characters. The author admirably approaches potent themes such as the self-destructiveness of humanity, the power of language, and the social consequences of climate change, where the themes read as a remonstration of contemporary society.” – Aurealis #125
Two gentlemen go to see a play by Shakespeare, in a very different England…
After the last human dies, what do the robots do next?...
As conditions in the world deteriorate, the Rich launch a fantastic conspiracy to survive…
If Stanley Kubrick hadn’t made ‘2001’, what would his ‘proverbial good SF film’ have been?…
A man come to claim the throne of the greatest city on his world, but finds it much tougher than he thought…
In a time of street violence and gang warfare, a mother has to take her kids to school…
… and others. All new, all original, ranging from an alternate past to unimagined futures, across different universes.
These and others make up 'Catching Light', the fists SF short story collection by Australian author Alec Lamberton, ranging across time, space and universes.
