Reviews

[Boy Dyl · Rating 3 out of 5]

Above average sci-fi pulp.

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

The exceptional short stories of science fiction continue in this volume with two entries. The first one is a space adventure with a twist and the second a expoloration of alien ecology in an distant solar system.
