Fresh, 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.

Enjoyable 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.

Some Good, Some Bad
By SDJohnson
I'm all about some End of the World fiction (as if you couldn't tell by my other reviews). This one was a collection of short stories with the common theme of apocalyptic proportions. Some of these were really well written and had an original disaster, others had a scenario that's been done many times but the writing was good, and there were a few that probably should have been subjected to some heavy editing. A few of the really good ones:
"Julia's Garden" by Michael Aaron. This will make you think twice about wanting more powerful anti-biotics.
"Executable" by Hugh Howey. How nice it will be when everything has wifi, right? Keep dreaming.
The good stories outnumber the bad and there were a few that I would like to see become full-sized novel or even feature films.
