The idea of a galactic empire that existed across the stars and throughout millennia fascinated me. When I read his robot books with Daneel Olivaw, I discovered the vastly different planets that could exist from just human’s own invention and innovation. The different flora, fauna, life spans, diseases, landforms, technology...you name it and suddenly with those few books my mind was opened to the possibility of what existed beyond our own little planet.In steps the latest edition of the Future Chronicles -- The Galaxy Chronicles. Twelve stories from some of the greatest and most imaginative writers out there right now telling the tales from beyond the stars. The stories live up to the billing, with each a delight, taking a different approach to the overall theme.Full disclosure: I have stories in three other Future Chronicles titles, but have no involvement in this production. I just enjoyed the heck out of it.I won’t go over each story -- other reviews take care of that -- but I will briefly mention a few stories that resonated with me.Erik Wecks starts off the collection with a fast-paced space heist “A Mercenary in Escrow.” I loved it, seeing a version of The Italian Job in space as the Deek, the captain of a ship, willingly goes to prison to save the rest of his crew. Three years later, Deek is out, but he isn’t safe as he now belongs to the company he screwed before he went in the clink. What happens and what will his crew do? Great pacing and great storytelling tell the reader they are in for a treat the rest of the anthology.I got a huge kick out of Jennifer Wells’ “Symbiont Seeking Symbiont.” Told from the perspective of a woman who meets an alien bacteria, it garnered more than a few laughs from me. As you read the author’s note, you’ll read about the inspiration for the story and it makes perfect sense. Cringe-worthy at times because of some of the lines the bacteria tries on our protagonist, this is a great turn for Wells.“Earth Fall” by Raymond Weil is a great twist on the space genre, giving us an “invasion” tale with a fantastic turn at the end. I found Weil’s writing to be tight and compelling and will definitely seek out more by him in the future.And the story that closed out the collection, “Multiply” by Nicholas Wilson, was fantastic. A ship controlled and inhabited by two different and distinct artificial intelligences crashes on their mission. What do Walter and Comet do? Their basis may be artificial but their motivations are very “human” and in the end we get a great parallel to human history as well. I loved the story and found the characters interesting and would read more stories with Walter at the fore.Those are just a few of the stories I loved. Ask me tomorrow and I’ll probably chose a different top four. All twelve stories are fascinating and will have fans no matter what.Ultimately, Samuel Peralta has done it again with The Galaxy Chronicles and I cannot wait to read what he’s got coming out next.
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Spectacular saga-spanning stories in space that takes place in galaxies far, far away from our own! By Chris F. Space is the next frontier, presenting mankind with numerous challenges to try and conquer. These short stories span the breadth and depth of those possibilities in universes so distant from our own, stimulating our imaginations with what we might find out there. Science fiction has always swept us away and embraced these ideas and this anthology wonderfully continues in that storytelling tradition. From hard sci-fi to alien encounters, to space battles and scoundrels on the run from the law, this anthology captures the majesty and deadly beauty of life out amongst the stars. Starting with a beautiful and moving foreword by anthology producer Samuel Peralta about model rocketry and a brief history on the development of space flight, we get twelve tales from out in the cosmos:Erik Wecks’ “A Mercenary in Escrow” – Deek and his crew are mercenaries working a job for the Tsunomo corporation but when the job goes sideways, he picks the best of his worst options. Three years later, when he meets up with his crew, he finds things have changed between them, feeling betrayed. But is there more to this situation than meets the eye? A daring escape, colorful characters, witty banter, tense circumstances and clever plot twists highlight this tale as Deek tries to worm his way out of another impossible situation.Jasper T. Scott’s “Excelsior” – Captain Alexander is about to leave his wife to go on a mission for the Alliance that will last at least ten years. But when the Confederates discover a big Alliance secret, the cold war goes hot as Alexander must race to carry out their secret mission. When it all goes to hell, how will they possibly succeed? Excellent tactical use of military strategy and impressive utilization of science all culminate in a nail-biting space battle with Earth and its future at stake.Pippa DaCosta’s “Falling” – Caleb and Francisca are captured by Jin, a scrap collecting madman. The two of them need each other to affect their escape despite their mutual distrust of one another. As these two people with shady pasts collude, the twists and turns come fast and furious with surprises abound. The cut and thrust of each jibe between these two interesting characters is as adventurous as the action, leading to a surprising and effective conclusion.G.S. Jennsen’s “Apogee” – In 2297, Stefan lives with his family on Seneca and leaves the house that day with a crucial part to play in the coming secession from the Earth Alliance, leading to an insurrection. As battle lines are drawn, long-laid plans come to fruition in preparation for the coming showdown, but will they avert a war or start one? A tale fraught with tension as the fight for freedom has never been more costly as we’re kept guessing how it will all play out and stunned as to how it does.Jennifer Foehner Wells’ “Symbiont Seeking Symbiont” – Allus is part of a crew on a spaceship that needs repairs, landing on an unpopulated part of the planet to make them. Feeling cooped up, she decides to go do some sunbathing out in the sand. But then she meets a strange but charming alien creature who presents her with a proposition that’s hard to resist. What starts off as an innocent meeting between two different species turns into something unexpected and startling that gains urgency as you race towards the spine-tingling conclusion.These tales into the unknown demonstrate the pure imagination of what humanity might seek and find in deep space. Though as this anthology demonstrates, be careful with what you wish for, as you might find something completely unexpected deep in the black. And we as readers find a delightful anthology brimming with creativity, ingenuity, mystery and thrills.My rating and review is based on the five stories I have read so far. Once I’ve finished reading the rest of the stories, I will update this with the rest of my mini reviews for each individual tale. I’ll also change my rating if it becomes necessary.Please note that I was given an advance readers copy of this eBook. A favorable review was never expected or asked for, only an honest one.

One small step into the universe, a voyage to discover, a journey to unknown frontiers. The Galaxy Chronicles takes that desire and brings us new worlds, new visions to view through the eyes of twelve talented authors.The collection starts out with “A Mercenary in Escrow” where we are introduced to a mercenary captain who does three years in prison in an effort to save his crew from the consequences of breaking a contract. But, as he soon learns, it’s the actions of his crew that will really determine his future. 5 Stars“Excelsior” takes us into a Cold War between two factions that control the earth, and the political maneuverings that could destroy - or save - humanity. Could a new world be the answer to save them all? 4.5 StarsPippa DaCosta gives us her story “Falling,” introducing us to how Caleb Shepperd first met Fran. For fans of her Girl from Above series this will give you a peek into the past, and it’s a great introduction to the characters for those new to the series. 4 Stars“Apogee” is a thrilling story of the start of a revolution, as a planet seeks to reclaim its freedom from the heavy rule of the Earth Alliance. But starting a war is never easy, and sometimes decisions have to be made that are difficult to live with. Could you do what needed to be done? 5 StarsGiraffe is Felix R. Savage’s story “Keep Off the Grass” is an interesting individual, and this story - showing us a future where Japanese Catholics are living in space to save themselves from persecution - makes me want to read more. I’m very interested to see what this author can come up with next! 4 Stars“Ser Pan Comido” leads us on a merry chase as three urchins scramble to free themselves, and a starship pilot, from a planet that seeks to rip away their futures. 4 Stars“The Kasant Objective” is probably my favorite of the collection, with Chris Reher giving us a new twist on the Grey Alien mythos. While the story started out a little slow, it soon filled with surprises, and the ending made me go back and re-read the story, happy with the new perspective I had on this tale. 5 Stars“Symbiont Seeking Symbiont” illustrates the danger found on unknown worlds, and the author does a great job at really making us wonder what will happen next. It’s Alice in Wonderland in Space, but with a potentially deadlier ending. 4 StarsDavid Adams brings gives us a story that is at once futuristic but also reminds me of the struggle that our own Veterans go through, home again after war, often missing limbs and loved ones. “The Immortals: Kronis Valley” can be read as a stand-alone but is also part of a larger universe of work. 4.5 StarsEvery good collection about Galaxies and Space Exploration has to have an invasion story. “Earth Fall” brings us back home as we watch the final days of Earth’s civilization, as it is brought down by a technologically superior race. But is it really the end? 4.5 Stars“The Stars that Bind” is a strange story that shows us multiple generations and their quest to save and protect the Empire from being lost in the expansion of the universe. But can this Binding actually be done? While this story is good, it felt a little disjointed and I would have liked to see the ending expanded upon a little more so the reader actually really understands what happened. 3.5 StarsThe last story is another favorite of mine, and it’s a great story to close out the collection. “Multiply” by Nicolas Wilson is the tale of two AIs, trapped together, forced to work beyond their programming to protect others. Reading this tale, I was left with the thought that I was watching a new civilization emerge to take its place in the galaxy. 5 StarsAs usual, Samuel Peralta has managed to put together an excellent collection of stories to make you wonder what else is out there, what is possible, and what our future may bring. 4 ½ Stars overall.While I did receive a review copy of this book in exchange for a review, I enjoyed it enough that I also purchased a copy!
