A collection of short stories in military science fiction and space opera. Normally I don't like short stories so much, but these are all solicited by authors with established series. And the stories are prequels, back stories or interstitials that illuminate the worlds they have created. The fact that a short story is backed by a world allowed me to dive in and enjoy. And leads me to hunt out some of these series. Of particular interest are
- The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell
- Crimes against Humanity by Susan R Mathews
- The Lensmen by EE Doc Smith
- The Confederation Series by Tanya Huff
- Kangaroo series by Curtis C Chen
- The Liaden universe by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
- The Kris Longknife series by Mike Shepherd
4 stars (out of 4)
