New Fiction from J. Michael Straczynski

Since early November, Amazon.com has been showcasing exclusive articles and stories by well-known authors and celebrities.

The latest is a short story, The Salvation of Lyman Terrell, by one of my favorite authors and scriptwriters of all time, J. Michael Straczynski.

Set in the near future, this story about a lawyer with a life-and-death dilemma is standard twilight zone fare, but affords Straczynski followers with a piece not available elsewhere.

Straczynski is a Hugo-award-winning writer, and producer for such television series as The New Twilight Zone; Murder, She Wrote; and Walker, Texas Ranger. He is also the writer for Marvel Comics' The Amazing Spider-Man and Supreme Power.

However, many will always remember Straczynski as the creator, writer and force of nature behind the science fiction epic Babylon 5.
