    The Human Corps Ep. 1 of 2

    When he signed up to join the Gray Defense Force’s Human Corps of Volunteers, Sandip “Sandy” Dhaliwal thought he’d be fighting to liberate a fellow primate race from the nihilistic cephalopods. It turned out the Jancalli didn’t want to be “liberated” as they’ve been waging an insurrection ever since the Grays unleashed the Human Corps onto the native population.  Serving as an interpreter in the 22nd Canadian Battalion, Sandy is tasked with the care of Dr. Larbra, a high-value prisoner responsible for unleashing a virus onto the human warriors. When their hopper is shot down, Sandy and Dr. Larbra must survive in an unforgiving jungle. It is here where his sworn enemy forces Sandy to face his humanity.  If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories. Thank you!

    Smuggler's Blues

    In 1986, with the global economy in ruins, the Americans and the Soviets were ready to launch a full-scale nuclear exchange when the United Gray Consortium stepped in, made first contact, and brought the escalation to a halt. In the years since, Grays and other races of the Consortium explored Earth to experience its many authentic, primitive cultures. They discovered the miraculous elixir “coffee.” Brad, a Gray who initially came to Earth as a volunteer, immigrated to New Orleans with a plan to export coffee from Earth to the civilized worlds in the Consortium. There’s only one problem: The Consortium does not allow coffee imports since they see it as a drug requiring decades of study. With an addictive product, eager customers, but no legal way to sell it, Brad takes a page from his human friends.  If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories.

    Axis Of Time: A Retrospective

    Back in 2004, John Birmingham published “Weapons Of Choice,” the first novel in the “Axis Of Time” trilogy where a multinational fleet from 2021 was accidentally thrown back into 1942 carrying not only the technology and knowledge of future events, but also the cultural sensibilities that clashed with the locals. “Mixtape Stories” will provide a retrospective of Birmingham’s detailed description of the cultural rifts as well as the backdrop of the story written during the height of the Global War On Terror. Minor spoilers. If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories. Thank you!
