Eve started to laugh. She was standing in her home of the past decade, an airship that might as well be dead. The only way she could get it functional again was to make it back to the colony, across sand-pits that could swallow her whole, and then get the neural processor back from Tadeusz before it starved to death.Eve started to laugh. She was standing in her home of the past decade, an airship that might as well be dead. The only way she could get it functional again was to make it back to the colony, across sand-pits that could swallow her whole, and then get the neural processor back from Tadeusz before it starved to death, and before the algae in the in the airship's oxygen recyclers and fuel-cells starved.From somewhere inside her there came a deep swell of emotion, and she screamed. Some of it was from the loss of her husband. Some of it was fear of these terrible people. Some of it was just anger. But most of it was a nameless emotion, something primal, the feeling that an animal might have, when after being chased into a corner, it turns to attack its predator. That emotion when not only does it need to fight, but a switch in its mind has been thrown and now it wants to fight.

The ten short stories deal in a humorous way with many of today's pressing problems. From corporate corruption and genetically modified food, to the distinct possibility of cosmic catastrophe from a rogue asteroid. The book comes with 14, colour, full page, photo-composition illustrations, that leave the reader no doubt that Jack Swan, is no ordinary talking fowl. The time travel stories deal with the Mark Twain's account of two lost steamers in Nicaragua to Albert Einstein's secretive trip to Panama in 1933. There is also the farcical story of a performance of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake at London's Royal Albert Hall, except with a real lake and real swans - this just screams that a disaster will happen and Jack Swan never disappoints. Many historic facts are woven into the tales and many Jack Swan readers feel these weird story's inevitably must become a hillarious movie. As the British comedy team Monty Python used to say: "And now for something completely different."
