Space Cowboy

NOBODY SMITH by Abe Evergreen is a short story about a smuggler trying to scrounge up the money to leave a backwater planet and make his way across the galaxy. Evergreen does a great job laying out the sci-fi setting, without dragging out the descriptions.

Even though the author doesn't reveal much of anything about Smith, I love the character's ingenuity. In fact, I wouldn't mind reading another adventure about Nobody Smith.

A Gift of Science

When a man clones his daughter, members of his family begin dying.

SHE'S NOT MY SISTER by Abe Evergreen is a sci-fi crime-thriller. Kyle tries to appease his estranged wife by creating a clone he names Annie, but succeeds only in enraging and alienating his wife and daughter, Alice. While the storyline is predictable and somewhat cliché, I had to know how the story would end.

I think Evergreen should've made this a novella, with more character development and more details about the biolab.
