Re: Escape Pod 791. I enjoyed this story. Mind you, Ed was
doomed the moment his species got creative and tried to wipe out humanity. I suspect this would be the fate of any shapeshifter (for lack of a better word) who visited and/or invaded Earth. This story has a great point-of-view mechanic. Nice! Edit = this story captured the inane conversations that we would see if a raiding party were to visit Earth (cable news networks?! Real estate deals?! Gold buy/and/sell?!). I think the aliens just cut their losses, dropped some more bioweapons on Earthlings, and sat back.
Great story.
