This second collection of short stories once again takes the reader beyond the paths we all walk in our everyday life, to where that thin veil of civilization is torn aside revealing worlds in which the strange and impossible do happen, for better and for worse. *** In the nine tales here we meet; a man who buys a classic car that can do incredible things, things that could change his life forever, even if he'd rather it didn't (The Song Remains the Same). *** A brilliant and nasty research scientist who is hell bent on unlocking the key to immortality both for herself and for mankind, even if it means destroying a few of her colleagues along the way. In the end all she succeeds in doing is to push the boundaries of science too far and create a terrible moral dilemma for those that come after her (Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold). *** A couple who run out of gas in the desert and stumble across a secret that will change their perception of reality and render obsolete everything they thought they knew about the world they live in (The Grass is Always Greener). *** A group of scientists, politicians and military personnel who must decide, quickly, if first contact with an alien race is something to be welcomed, or avoided at all costs (But We Want to be Alone). *** A mysterious man who brings together a group of brilliant researchers, each with their own special skills, and tasks them with solving some of the most enduring mysteries of our world (Hidden Places). *** A bitter unsuccessful old man who breaks into a long abandoned bar from his past to have a last drink and recall his misspent youth. He's about to discover that the bar isn't as empty as it seems and that he's let himself in for more than just a walk down memory lane (Last Call at JJ's). *** These are just some of the stories in volume two of Tales From Where the Road Ends. Stories that will take you to places you've never been, some wonderful, some frightening, some you may never be able to forget.
