A great collection of short stories set in the universe of the Starman Saga. If you're already a fan of the series, this collection will enhance your appreciation for this universe providing fascinating details. But if you're brand new, you can still enjoy this as a collection of sci-fi short stories. More than that, this collection also serves as a valid entry point into the universe.
The highlight is the novella-length Orphans of Titan which details the story of humanity's first contact with the Titanian race. High emotional stakes and some great "sciencing" worthy of "The Martian".
