About Us
A crack unit of code monkeys, geeks, and one lawyer was sent to satellite prison by the Robot Overlords of Alpha Centauri for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped by hotwiring an Eagle Transporter for Moonbase Alpha. Their current whereabouts are unknown. Their mission, to bring the hottest science fiction and fantasy they can find to the earbuds and e-readers of their audience. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have an awesome story, if no one else has published it yet, and if you can follow the submission guidelines, maybe you can be published by… Flying Island Press
