Would you trust a six-year-old who’s prone to spaghetti tantrums, to navigate your starship, because the adults messed up? A soldier: Engineered to fight, engineered to die, time and time again. How might he react when confronted by mortality for the very first time? A monster diesel robot with delicate and artistic sensibilities, on a mission to find freedom. Jazz, zoot suits, blades… and very evil shoes. And when your skin gets too loose, what can you do? Not a problem for a big man who plans ahead. Or is it? Power for Two Minutes is a collection of short science fiction and fantasy that will make you laugh, make you cry and maybe make you wince a little.
