Reviews

[Riju Ganguly · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book contains fourteen stories. All of them have a Space Station at their respective centre or periphery. Most are readable. Only two stories were crisp, gently humorous and assuredly realistic in their cosmopolitan outlook. They were~
1. 'The Battle of Space Fort Jefferson' by Timothy Zahn;
2. 'Mikeys' by Robert J. Sawyer.
Rest of the stories seemed to take themselves too seriously and were either aimed to be tearjerkers or lengthy reaeds with lots of details.
'Nuff said.

For Sci Fi fans of space travel this is the book for you. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. The first story was my favorite, it reminded me of Fort Apache. Other good ones were the fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, tenth and twelve. The funniest was was "First Contact Cafe" it also makes you think a little. The most thought provoking one was "Serpent On The Station". The last story was the worst, it was hard for me to understand. Highly recommended.

A mixed bag of short stories, some I did really like, some others I was very tempted to just skim over until the next story starts.

If you have only time for a few stories, make sure that you read Mikeys, Falling Star, Orbital Base Fear and Station Spaces.

Really enjoyed this one - no more than two or so stories less good than the others and a ton of wonderful ones! Excellent anthology.
