Human Error /Cubs of The Wolf / Great Gray Plague / Memory of Mars
(2010)A collection of stories by Raymond F Jones
4 Sci-Fi short stories by Raymond F. Jones:
Human Error - The government was spending a billion dollars to convince the human race that men ought to be ashamed to be men—instead of errorless, cybernetics machines. But they forgot that an errorless man is a dead man....
Cubs of The Wolf - It may be that there is a weapon that, from the viewpoint of the one it's used on, is worse than lethal. You might say that death multiplies you by zero; what would multiplication by minus one do?
The Great Gray Plague - There is no enemy so hard to fight as a dull gray fog. It's not solid enough to beat, too indefinite to kill, and too omnipresent to escape.
The Memory of Mars - "As soon as I'm well we'll go to Mars for a vacation again," Alice would say. But now she was dead, and the surgeons said she was not even human. In his misery, Hastings knew two things: he loved his wife; but they had never been off Earth!
Genre: Science Fiction
