Customer Reviews

Excellent military SF

The stories in this anthology are all by top writers currently in the field. Taking place in the future, for the most part anyway, these stories generally deal with Humans in conflict with alien races. The stories are unrelated to one another, each being a separate universe unto itself. The gamut of science fiction is pretty much handled, as there are uses of such things as: FTL travel, enhanced mental abilities, cybernetically enhanced humans, time-travel paradox-type situations. . . None of these stories are found lacking in appeal, with the characters not totally flat as happens in many SF stories. If you like science fiction with a military twist, I believe you will enjoy this collection.

A terrific anthology

For those of you who are tired of the Star Trek series where the characters cannot change; this one is for you. This series of short stories takes you beyond the rigid parameters of series science fiction books. In this anothology we see those who are less than perfect; prevent near catastrophoes; and they are not the best and the brightest in fleet. The heroes in this book are ordinary people driven to accoplish extrodinary things under fire.
