Story5 out of 5 stars 4
The tranquil continent of Andalon descends into chaos when pirates and outlaws form an alliance against tyranny. Warfare ensues as they uncover dark secrets involving a superior society, and centuries of stability unravel under the watchful eye of magic-wielding Falconers. This sect of administrators captures and farms children who can potentially manipulate the elements, and the eerie specters steal the latent telepathic abilities for their own use.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Marko Zorn, a Washington, DC, homicide detective with expensive tastes in art, classic cars, and women, must take on extra work to supplement his income. Although he's skilled at navigating the corridors of law enforcement and the hideouts of criminal gangs, he'd prefer to stay home and watch old movies, enjoy his art collection, and listen to cool jazz. When Zorn encounters the body of a Secret Service agent - a supposed drowning victim - it leads him to a domestic terrorist group with tentacles into the White House, a White House that does not want this death investigated.

A good sci fi start
Most of these seeds would make great sci-fi stories on their own. I especially liked the ships that were sent away from a troubled earth to establish a new future.
I wish more of his stories were on Audible.
I liked the narration, she has a pleasant voice, however sometimes it seems too fast - almost over compressed by software. I’d prefer to hear it dramatized slightly slower.

Great, Entertaining Sci Fi for Beginners
I’m new to Sci Fi and found these short stories very easy to follow and extremely entertaining. The plot twists are thought provoking and clever, not to mention extremely well-written. I applaud the author for highlighting female heroines! The narrator’s diction is clear. Her enunciation is excellent. I definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to try Sci Fi for the first time or for those well-versed in the genre.
