Echoes of the Past… In places where unspeakable atrocities occurred sometimes 'something' lingers, stuck between the worlds of the living and the dead. Those who believe in the grey area behind the veil will tell you that those places can become eternal cages that hold the souls of the deceased captive. 'Mental Ward: Echoes of the Past' is a collection of twelve such stories; tales of hauntings taking place in asylums. The places where the crazed, the insane, and sometimes the different were hidden away from society's view. Follow the winding path crafted by the talented, and in some cases, twisted imaginations of the storytellers who would taint your peaceful world with their echoes of the past. *This book is a collection of similarly themed yet varying fictitious short stories from multiple authors.

Feedback from the slight pressure of a hand closing sends a powerful mechanical arm smashing into an opponent. A neural link hurls blustering plasma fire from your suit's shoulder mounted cannon. Your reactor levels scream with overload as return fire smashes into your armor, and damage alarms wail while you hurl your twenty ton body sideways for cover. You're a Mecha, a mechanical fighting machine with a human pilot. The guy that the infantry curse at in training and pray for in combat. The machine that the last hopes of your people ride on. The construct that strikes fear deep into alien hearts as they hear your turbines power up. The one able to pass through hell and come out the other side victorious, or die trying. Cannon Publishing brings you ten stories from current masters of military science fiction that will take you from the magic of a Medieval village to the edges of the galaxy to fight inhuman foes.

The lioness prowls where only darkness reigns. 
Months after the fall of Liberia, Lieutenant Sunshine of the Kakata Korps Mercenary Company finds herself adrift in the galaxy. Her last remaining mission, which she has sworn to complete, is to find a member of the Peacemaker Guild and pass along a message from the dead. There’s just one problem—nobody can find the message hidden inside the old, broken-down CASPer in which she escaped the final battle. 
As more time passes, the dead she chooses to honor are tossed into the dustbin of forgotten history. Footnotes and nothing more, the so-called “Lions of Liberia” will only be remembered for their apparent betrayal of Earth, not for their brave sacrifice in an effort to save their people and their homeland. 
Sunshine will not let their deaths be in vain, and she swears to complete her mission. It is her only goal in life…until a cry for help in the dark is heard that changes everything. 
And the galaxy will soon learn why a pride of lions is more dangerous than a solitary one.
