Simulations - there’s something for everybody in a city where working for a living has been rendered obsolete by technological advancements. Even a short walk outside to visit with others is no longer necessary. Just load into the network and you can be with anyone, anywhere. For Asher Reinhart, nothing compares to Ignis; a live reality show that pushes human beings to their very extremes.

The Flat Earth Clues book gives you 12 compelling reasons why you should rethink the globe model that you have been taught. Before you were born, before your parents, your grandparents, before you even had a family line. There was the illusion, the trick, the lie that you lived on a small spinning rock flying through space. You thought it was true, because children don't believe in lies. And you grew up, and it was still true, because science is never wrong....

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Historia
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Historia
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Historia
James Crowley met his mortal end in a hail of gunfire. Now, he finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away. His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm. This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a Western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff.

Think there's an unbridgeable gulf between human and alien thought? Not so! There's a common tongue, all right - and Nicholas Van Rijn speaks it fluently: trade. For behind the buffoonish blarney and bawdy bonhomie of the Falstaffian Van Rijn is a man who gets things done. A born wheeler-dealer who usually leaves both sides better off in the bargain. (While pocketing a hefty cut of the profits himself, of course!)

After some meddling on the part of the Admiralty, many of the Academy's best are assigned to the oldest, smallest hulk in the Wargame, the unfortunately named corvette, Chihuahua.

A crisp myriad of great short stories
I found this collection to contain some very enjoyable works. I'm not usually a short story reader but I thought to give this collection a go and was not disappointed.
With any book or series there's going to be some parts more inspirational than others. This was not the case here. All but one story I thoroughly enjoyed and that was not due to the story but my personal lack of grasping the plot.

A potpourri of amuse-bouche sci-fi stories
This anthology was enjoyable. I do prefer longer novel-spanning stories, but thats just me. If you want a lot of good little stories this is a great collection.
I would love to see longer versions in each of these stories.

It kept me in awe. The kind of awe you would get as a child as you look at the night sky in the country side or deep in a forest. It was a worth while read.

Great collection, superb performances, but...
I just kept wanting more after each brief tale. On the one hand these were excellent tales but in the end I did not enjoy having them end so quickly!
If you're looking for a sampler's delight, then this is the audio book for you! Based on my listen, I will definitely be looking at a number of these author's that I had not heard of, read, or listened to before.
From a narration standpoint, both were superb! I greatly enjoyed Greg Tremblay's past work (Scythe) and his narration here was just as great. Nicole Poole's narration was also very satisfying. Both narrators delivered pleasant and engaging narrations with plenty of character variation and nothing that I felt I could complain about!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Anthology of great range
This anthology really runs the gamut of style, scenario, setting, and so on. None of the stories fell flat, though I did increase the playback speed on some because the dramatic suspense became a little stale or forced.
Recommended for anyone interested in sci fi shorts or anyone looking for new/unknown authors to support and enjoy.
