About this eBook

 From the Imperium-controlled aetherlanes to a tech noir restitution agency in the Free Zone and from a steampunk, 1894 China with clockwork automatons to a post-1984 Orwellian dystopia with mandatory goodpharm, here are ten science fiction stories of defiance and daring.

Split evenly between strong female and male leads, these heroes fight losing battles on principle alone, discover lies hidden deep inside themselves, execute daring rescues and fight for love and liberty in a society where human dignity is cheaper than obsolete swarmbots.

These original, never-before-published works are from veteran authors, including William F. Wu, as well as emerging talents.

Ratings and reviews

Worth a look! Quite a mix of genres and styles, so there's a good chance of finding a story that works for you. A few parts could have used a bit more polish (some swapped character names, weird non sequiturs, a few paragraphs that don't quite flow), but if you like your SF a bit raw and a bit wild then that won't be a problem. While I didn't enjoy every story, I did find a few new authors to look out for.

Not your average fun pulp love/adventure/military stories set in space. Good concepts and good authors that make you think. doubleplusunhate! crimethink unlater... if you don't understand that last statement, you'll just have to download the book and read through the stories yourself...

Every story was really well written. I was pleasantly surprised. So many of the free books are not. While they may have a good plot line, they read choppily. All of the stories were so good it makes me want to read more from every author. I am looking forward to many hours of happy reading! Thanks so much for allowing me a small glimpse into your worlds . Keep up the good work!
