      A Letter from The Editor

      Greetings everyone! Thank you for downloading the January 2014 edition of Uncharted Frontier EZine! As you may notice, we were a bit behind this month. I’ve been in the midst of trying to get agent representation for my latest novel, which takes up a little bit of my time, but really, I’m still adjusting to being a new Dad. I’ve definitely learned new ways to make time to get things like this done, but as any parent knows that is harder than one would think!

      Due to the late shipping of this issue, we’re going to be combining the February and March issues to ensure our contributors have sufficient time to get their work into us. We don’t anticipate this becoming a regular thing (aside from November and December where the Holidays equal significantly lower submissions), and should be back to normal come the April issue!

      We hope you enjoy this month’s issue, which continues our serial stories of Mr Christopher Ketcham’s Zarathustra series and Mr. Richard Lawrence’s fantastic Merlin Saga. Welcome back to the Frontier!

      Welcome to the Machine

      By Christopher Ketcham

      Parmenides awoke or thought he did and his mind hurt at the prospect of embracing reality once again. The goddess, the goddess, he murmured.

      Lying in a bed of quicksilver the stainless steel Maria glowed while élan vital poured into her; but she did not as yet see. Tubes pulsed into her and from her draining and now pale doppelganger who hung limp next to her, raised on a bed of beams to assist the flow of gravity. This aspic from her former self now bathed in Maria’s silvery glow was to be the ultimate revenge of Rotwang. He would turn this metallic monstrosity against the workers in the underground city of Metropolis. She would be their goddess now.

      Parmenides’ mind wandered in and out of consciousness. The dream. It was all so muddled now; a hypnopompic farce that receded with every moment of wakefulness. In the distance through an open window a Philip Glass chorus was repeating, one, two, three, four in modulated overtones which somehow didn’t clash with a
