Two stars?
The rating is not for the quality of the material: some is very good; some is okay. You may notice that I am not using the term "stories" as you may find in the publisher's description and some of the other reviews.
Think of these more like movie "trailers" because few can really stand on their own. They might be a chapter in a larger work or a snippet in some bigger "space opera." Or perhaps, the author is just trying out a shift in his/her focus. Take "Bloodbag Suppressors," one of the better pieces. It is an intriguing military sci-fi vignette describing a universe where humans and vampires have found it necessary to ally against an alien threat. Justin Sloan has yet (as far as I can determine) to put anything out that expands on this idea.
So if you are intrigued by the title or the price, be warned. There is a lot missing from this package.

“The Teardrop that became a Torrent” by Rachel Aukes
A lovely short story, filling us in on Critch's past.

I was a little disappointed
With the exception of Jay Allan's story, most of these were just ok. One story was basically unreadable because of lack of editing. If you are going to produce an anthology, it needs more than one (in my opinion) strong story back filled with mediocrity. Sorry so harsh but after the Jay Allen story I went back and re-read others and my critique stands. Maybe the next one will be stronger.

Very nice collection! I particularly liked "The Embrose Contract" by CC Ekeke, "The Trenches of Centauri Prime" by Craig Martelle, "Planetstrider" by Chris Fox, "Tombstone" by Jay Allan, and "Last Survivors" by Michael G Thomas. A number of the other stories were rather dark or sad. I like upbeat endings best.

Lots of Good Reading
This book has a lot of different stories within it. Some are long, some are short but each one was good.
It's a bargain for the price.
I Recommend It!

Finally finished this
Second half was much better than the first half, really enjoyed it and happy I picked it back up again.
