I received this book free from LibraryThing in return for an honest review.
Deep Black Beyond is a collection a short stories about space travel. 2 of the stories: No Spaceships Go and The Memory of Bone are too short. They don't seem to have an ending. The Lights of the Earth As Seen From Tartarus is the longest and the best of all the stories. Annie Bellet has great writing style. She has a way of making the reader connect with the story and characters. I have read a couple of her books. I recommend this book to everyone. Even if you don't care for space books, you will find yourself enjoying this one.
