Less Than Human Less Than Human by Maxine McArthur
reviewed by Lisa DuMond
Sometimes, we as humans don't live up to our potential. Sometimes, in fact, we seem to be a massive waste of cells -- Nazis, serial killers, pedophiles -- whose only redeeming quality is the fact of our humanity. As far as we have searched on this planet and the tiny percentage of outer space we have explored, there is nothing like us; humans are unique creatures. So what would be our reaction if someone found a way to challenge our essential nature, make us more than the biological shells that hold us?

Time Past Time Past by Maxine McArthur
reviewed by Martin Lewis
Commander Halley used to be the head of the space station Jocasta. Whilst testing an FTL drive she finds herself flung 99 years into the past where she becomes a refugee on Earth in the year 2023. Forced to abandon her ship, she is trapped in the past, just another down and out in the barrio surrounding Sydney. Luckily for her, however, 2023 is the year the Invendi make contact with humanity. They are the alien race whose technology Halley has utilised in her prototype jumpship.

Time Past Time Past by Maxine McArthur

Time is the demon that is inexorably stalking Commander Halley of the space station Jocasta. At least, she wishes she was back on the station; she fervently wishes she had never tried to steal a forbidden jump drive from under the... well, noses, for lack of a better word... of the Four to give to the rest of the Confederacy. All her valiant efforts have left her stranded in Earth's polluted, unenlightened past with only the slimmest chance of every returning to her own time.

Time Future Time Future by Maxine McArthur
reviewed by Hank Luttrell
This is a thoroughly successful science fiction mystery. The circumstances of the crime arise from a power struggle on an isolated Earth-sanctioned space station. The station is rather mysterious right from the start, because it is technology abandoned by a more advance race, and claimed by Earth, which is otherwise a junior member of a multi-cultural galactic alliance. The station is under siege by a hostile alien force, while representatives from many other civilizations are uneasy occupants.

Time Future Time Future by Maxine McArthur
reviewed by Lisa DuMond
Just as police procedurals offer authentic portrayals of official investigations, this space procedural gives readers a realistic depiction of what life might be like aboard a space station in crisis. A blockade by the alien Seouras has kept the space station Jocasta and its inhabitants isolated from the Confederacy of Allied Worlds for months. Without contact, fresh materials, and supplies, the station will soon be unable to support life. Unfortunately, every new development makes survival more unlikely.
