Last Train Outta Kepler-283c
NEW STORIES OF THE FINAL FRONTIER.
The launch sequence has been set. The engines are bucking and ready to blast out of the stable. This is it, pardnas! The final trek into the outer limits of known space, where some might find oblivion, and others, serenity. Lift off to adventure with David Boop’s third space western anthology featuring best-selling authors Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Mark L. Van Name, Chesya Burke, Kevin Ikenberry, David Mack, John Stith, and more!
It’s been a long journey via Gunfight on Europa Station and High Noon on Proxima Centuri B, but Boop brings the series to conclusion (for now) with a collection of brilliantly crafted stories focusing a Western-theme lens onto established series like the Liaden Universe®, the Four Horseman Universe, and Jon & Lobo. Returning favorite authors such as D.J. Butler and Mel Todd are joined by new favorites David Afsharirad, Lezli Robyn, Christopher L. Smith, Kelli Fitzpatrick, and M. Tod Gallowglas (who regales readers with his epic “The Ballad of the Junk Heap Man and Mistress Bullet!”).
Thirteen stellar stories from every known quadrant of the universe, as told by an amazing crew of authors. So, book your passage on The Last Train Outta Kepler-283c before it’s too late!

Good anthology. By far, in my opinion, the best was the Lee/Miller story "Last Train to Clarkesville"

I read short story compilations to find new authors and pick up additional story line detail from familiar ones. This book provides a great assortment of both. The stories are complete in and of themselves, but if you are familiar with the "universe" they occur in (e.g, Liaden), there is some fun and entertaining story lines. I understand from an author's perspective that a short story can be challenging -- provide enough information to make sense, have some action, and then finish up with the reader feeling satisfied. The author's in all these stories did just that. I would definitely recommend this book.

This was a really good collection. Not a single story where I wondered what the story was doing being published in an anthology (unlike a number of other anthologies I've read lately).
