Emily Dickinson’s
Riding With Death

San Francisco International — uh, exactly what it says on the tin.
Stranded in Space gets used for the Gene Hackman film (what do you mean it isn’t already?)
The Violent Years 1937-1945
Angels’ Revenge is a Miltonesque tale of Satan and his co-conspirators trying to regain heaven and overthrow the guy who threw them down in the first place.
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is basically Johnny Mnemonic except good.
War of the Colossal Beast is a conflict that actually takes place on the back and outer skin layers of a Dirigible Behemothaur.

The Final Sacrifice - Probably something about thrilling endings of various World Series

Final Justice - Some kind of hagiography about some SCOTUS justice which I’d quit in disgust after about ten minutes of West Wing rejects hawking bottle openers and bobbleheads with the likeness of the deceased on them.
