All of these short stories were extremely imaginative. I found them easy to read and entertaining. A very nice read for lovers of Sci-Fi or as an intro into the genre.

I am usually pretty terrible at reading and finishing short story collections, only getting through one or two at a time and then setting them aside for a little while. That being said, I did really enjoy what I’ve read of this one, especially “Planetstrong” by Pamela Stewart, which is packed with action and boasting a kick-ass teenager heroine who saves the butts of everyone else in her platoon (battalion?) on a strange planet, while trying her best to avoid getting dragged into the restarting of hostilities in a galactic war. It’s fast-paced, peppy, and satisfying, giving me a jolt of energy and fun, plus a hint of romance and the introduction an interesting new creature as a friend and ally for our heroine. I loved it.
