This is a collection of 8 entirely separate stories from 8 different authors:

Watcher’s Web by Patty Jansen
- This book is all middle, with no beginning to set the scene, or any end to draw a conclusion. A story without a purpose.
Europa by Aurora Springer
- So long as you can live with bowdlerised swearing, this is a pretty reasonable story. The first book in at least a five-part series.
Few Are Chosen by M.T. McGuire
- So tedious, shallow and full of gangsters calling each other schoolboy names, and un-funny humour, that I didn't quite make it half-way through.
The Truth Beyond The Sky by Andrew M. Crusoe
- By far the best-written of the stories in this collection so far, especially if you like epic space-opera science fiction with no real characters, just continuous travel from place to place by unexplained means, with sufficiently brief stops at each location that you don't even have to bother finding out how long a local day lasts.
Generation by J.J. Green
- A good enough story, bowdlerised, comes to an irritatingly abrupt stop.
The Girl Who Twisted Fate’s Arm by George Saoulidis
- So many grammatical and typographical errors (18 in the first 46 pages) that either the proof-reader was incompetent, non-existent, or simply gave up in disgust.
The Ares Weapon by D.M. Pruden
Exodus by Drew Avera
- Avoid.
