Catch of the Day: Two men on a fishing trip catch more than they bargained for
About this ebook
When an alien colony ship arrives in Earth’s orbit, rogue pilot Eedo decides he’s had enough of cryo-stasis and deserts to Western Australia. Unfortunately for Ken, Eedo’s lander comes down right outside his coastal getaway.
Armed with nothing but a carving knife, bad eyesight, and a foot full of broken glass, Ken is about to have the worst night of his life.
A chaotic 4,000-word sci-fi short from the creator of Hal Spacejock.

About the author
Simon Haynes lives in Western Australia, where he divides his time between herding deadly spiders, dodging drop bears, and making up wildly inaccurate sentences like this one.
By day he's an author. By night he's also an author.
He loves wry, dry humour, and his hobbies include daringly inserting the letter U into words where -- in some parts of the world at least -- this simply isn't the done thing.
As for his genre-spanning novels, they include epic fantasy (with robots), scifi comedy (also with robots), middle grade humour (featuring robots AND the wanton use of the letter U), as well as a series of historical mystery novels set in 1870's London. (No, of course there aren't robots in those. He's not completely out of his mind.)
When he's not writing Simon is usually renovating his house, sim-racing online, using twitter (@spacejock), gardening, tweaking his book covers, pondering the meaning of the universe and reading, and if you think it's easy doing all that at the same time you should see what he can do with a mug of coffee, a banana and a large bag of salt.
When he's not making outlandish claims he likes to count how many novels he's written, and how many genres he's written them in. (Lots and too many.)
