5Fresh, short SF gems
By Henrietta Lala
I find it amazing that writers can still come up with original ideas in a genre that has been raked over and over again to extract every pebble of inspiration. These are stories of the highest caliber and are beautifully written. A treasure trove and a delight.

4An above average group of short stories.....
By Ronald W. Maron
While there are a couple stories that fail to measure up to the worth of the paper they are written on, this collection, in sum, is quite good. All are original, some produce additional thinking, and one is even silly. And, quite obviously, the price is right, too.......

4Enjoyable Collection of Short Stories
By Michael Gallagher
Overall, this is a pretty good selection of science fiction and fantasy short stories: I enjoyed most of them, but like any other collection there were one or two I didn't care for very much. A couple of them could be the outlines for full-length novels. About the only two improvements I would have for this collection is to (a) put in a table of contents, and (b) the last story in the compilation appears to be a bunch of jpg images or something and is unreadable.

I originally picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion, and as I type up this review I see the compilation is still free vs. its normal price of 99 cents. You'll get more than 99 cents of entertainment value out of this one, so f you are a science fiction fan I would recommend grabbing this one.
