Welcome to issue #1 of Tevun-Krus, @Ooorah 's monthly e-zine. Herein you'll find short stories, interviews, articles and even a contest. All sorts of Science Fiction goodies, related in this case to the First Contact sub-genre.

Welcome to the latest annual Best Of collection! Brand-new stories from some of your favourite mothertroopers!

First Contact as a science-fiction theme is perhaps the most fascinating -- because so many seem to believe we've experienced it in the real world! Have we been contacted by alien entities? We can't answer that question here at the Mothership, but we can use it as a springboard for a great TK issue! Forgotten Contact refers to a world where contact with aliens has somehow been forgotten. Lost to time -- or maybe hushed-up?

My first story!!!

The complement to First Contact. Final Contact is the departure, the last transmission, and maybe even the extinction.

A group of strangers are hired by a mysterious professor to travel back in time in order to retrieve a series of lost objects. Cover art by @artby.hhutch on Instagram

Richard Chosset's grandfather and the US Coast Guard cutter he commanded went missing in 1945, and Richard is determined to find its resting place. In his search, Richard accidentally discovers the fate of the historical Lost Squadron, Flight 19. Joined by the head of his father's security team, Zeus, Richard hunts for clues to secret Nazi technologies across Europe while being relentlessly pursued by men bent on their destruction. Richard and Zeus track a Nazi expedition that stole ancient artifacts that has dire consequences for the world. As they continue hunting the truth, Richard and Zeus find themselves on the ocean floor, confronting the ghosts of the past and the conspiracy trying to keep it all at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.
