Review by: Doug Pardee on Oct. 02, 2010 :
Solid space-opera stories with a Humphrey Bogart-ish main character. The first and last stories have interesting sci-fi premises; the second is basically a noir where the sci-fi setting adds color.

I gave this collection four stars instead of five out of sheer pickiness. The writing wasn't quite as "tight and clean" as it could've been; it's more YA (young adult) style writing. Which might not be fair for me to grumble about, because these stories are certainly suitable for the YA and mature MG (middle grade) audiences. There also were a very few minor editing glitches and misspellings.
