Reviews

[Douglas Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ever read one of the monthly SF anthology magazines like Asimov's or Analog? Well, this is the new electronic version.

This is a collection of twelve stories (thirteen if you count the essay at the beginning), each by a different author. All of them have different styles and different topics, but all them are solid science fiction. This is your golden opportunity to discover a new author, one that you probably have never heard of before, but who is now offering you a chance to try something new.

With a collection such as this, you are bound to find at least a couple that strike your fancy. I am willing to bet you will find more than that. I know I did.

Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed many of these stories although some of them were, well odd. But I cannot see there not being enough great stories in this collection to satisfy any sci-fi fan. I loved most of them and can't wait for the second volume.

First "story" wasn't even a full story, just the start of one. The second and third were barely interesting, and felt very rushed and incomplete. Three strikes, and I'm moving on.
