The timing of this fourteen collection anthology is perfect with the President’s recent proposal to return to the moon and manned missions to Mars along with the exploratory bots already on the Red Planet. The tales are linked by some form of a station not on earth, but not all built by humans. Each tale is fun to read more so because of what is happening on Mars. The authors are a who’s who from B to Z and each one holds their weight (though gravity might differ depending on locale). Outer space junkies will enjoy SPACE STATIONS whether it is trading in a café or a frontier fort on the verge of battle. The links besides the edifices in outer space is that all the tales are new and the quality high (it is beyond our stratosphere) with some so excellent readers will find it worth landing on Deimos.
