Night Lights: An Anthology of Short Fiction: First Contact, Conspiracy, and Space Opera

Captain Bartholomew Quasar short stories

by Kurt Bachard, Richard W. Black, David Boop

The short stories in Night Lights are populated with aliens, high and low technology, spaceships—including one with divine aspirations and one helmed by an otter—humans and not-so-human artificial intelligences, Earth locales, and far-off new worlds. There’s more too, and in each tale, the characters’ struggles will stretch your imagination and sense of reality, while posing profound questions about morality, society and justice, and raising uncertainties of the unknown and unchecked technological evolution. With 21 original stories from talented, new authors about extraterrestrials, conspiracies, and space exploration, Night Lights is full of moments that will make you gasp, shudder, laugh, and wonder.

[Pixie Moon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Engaging mix of entertaining short stories! Suite for the Lady in Red by Suanne Schafer is a beautifully twisted story. It delves into the mind and reveals how mourning, regret, and bullying can effect the way a person sees the world around them and what happens when they're pushed too far.
