The biting satire of Croc/Kroh

Here we have something unusual -- two works in prose no less -- and under one cover. The diverse set of characters in each work display what is both good and bad within ourselves. In "Croc" we find a couple of crocodiles battling for their political lives -- with a love interest spicing things up even more. The other half of the book deals with a group of what might be called "self-centered, self-serving, sanctimonious hypocrites" who for mostly nefarious reasons, embark upon a space voyage to the alien world of Kroh. And in the end...... Well, that would spoil it! The satire is biting and multi-layered. And a few spots might even require a hanky. The author has packed a lot into her brief lines and a second and third reading brings even more to the stories. Highly recommended!
