The Stopover

By Edgar Hess

An alien spacecraft, crippled by an unforeseen malfunction, is forced into an unscheduled emergency stopover in medieval England, rupturing the delicate architecture of a realm sustained by hierarchy, superstition, and force. Chaos spreads quickly as a calculating monarch and rival warlords perceive in the bewildering visitors not a mystery to be understood, but a force to be harnessed-an advantage to be bent toward ambition and dominion.
With a rescue mission from their home planet on the way and their peaceful intentions constantly misinterpreted, the aliens must race against time to avoid disaster. The interstellar explorers are forced to confront feudal minds shaped by fear and the pursuit of power. In this culture clash between two worlds, survival depends on understanding a species that barely understands itself-a tense exploration of the unbridgeable gap between civilizations equally alien to one another.
