“a once-in-a-lifetime collection“ Unbound Worlds

"great sci-fi done right, an appetizer whetting the appetite for much larger entrees to follow." -- Seattle Book Review
"After reading this volume, even the most grounded reader will be able to see that space opera has blasted off from its formulaic and predictable pulpy roots to explore galaxies of carefully crafted prose, thematic depth, and character complexity. These stories beg the reader to question the very nature of reality and gaze in wonder at the universe, pondering the struggles and joys of humans who seek to find their place in it" -- Tethered by Letters

"A great anthology with a bit of something for everyone and some top notch writers to boot." - Portland Book Review
