An excellent collection of short SF set in one of the most thoroughly-realized SF settings ever created -- <i>TheWertzone</i> A fun read -- <i>SFSignal.com</i> The shining star for me is the novella A Second Chance at Eden as it runs at just the right pace and is the perfect length to keep you trapped and awake at night as you race towards the end to find out who did it and why -- <i>FlickeringMyth</i>
