Story 7: 'Fool's Gold' by Zen DiPietro
Some futuristic wheeler-dealing. I liked the characters' voices and the author's writing style more than the actual story. 3 stars

Story 17: 'Digital Commander' by J.S. Morin
One of the best pieces of short military SF I've read so far. There was a small continuity error, though (unless I read it wrong). 4 stars

Story 15: 'Steel's First Temper' by David VanDyke
More military SF. It was OK but read a bit too much like 'Aliens' fan-fiction in places for my tastes. 3 stars

Story 14: 'Refurbished' by Artie Cabrera
A SF take on domestic abuse. I enjoyed it but felt it needed to be a bit longer and less rushed at the end. 4 stars

Story 12: 'Playing Doctor' by Robert Jeschonek
A funny take on the mad scientist, seen through the eyes of their assistant. I really enjoyed it but it ended a little abruptly. 4 stars

Story 10: 'The Last Ship' by Chris Pourteau
An excellent story that should appeal to Star Trek fans (or just fans of good SF). I loved it. 5 stars

Story 9: 'The Theta Patient' by Chris Dietzel
An interesting tale of a Big Brother-style dystopian future. Interesting but I didn't quite 'believe' the protagonist, if you know what I mean. (Probably not.) 3 stars

Story 8: 'The Tribe' by Andreas Christensen
This story was a sequel to Christensen's story 'The Tunnel' in a previous volume of 'At the Helm'. I enjoyed it quite a bit. 4 stars
