The Battle for Moscow, Idaho & Other Stories
A collection of six of Edward W. Robertson's sci-fi and horror stories:
In "Death Among the Grasseaters," a biologist is sent to a western backwater to track down the source of a new plague.
"The Inspiration of Philocrates," a steampunk-hued work of alternative history, follows a motley team of Greek soldiers and philosophers on a mission to kidnap a key scientist from the rival Egyptians.
And in "The Battle for Moscow, Idaho," a small crew of American guerrillas tries to hold their town together against an army of alien-aided rebels.
Other stories include "The Mayor of Mars," the flash story "There's No Home for You Here," and "The Magic Taco Wagon," a work of microfiction. Approximately 80 pages / 24,000 words, The Battle for Moscow, Idaho & Other Stories collects four of the author's previously published stories and two new ones.

After reading the breakers series, I was curious to go back and read some of the early works of Mr. Robertson. The stories are interesting to read. You can see some glimpses of some ideas that take root in later books. It is also interesting to see the evolution of the author's writing style.
Mr. Robertson has come a long way and I am certain is bound for future success.
