As with all short story collections, some are better than others, and this collection is no exception. To be honest, the only stories that really stood out for me was the bone disease one, and the last one about a doomed ship to Mars.
Generally I think the stories themselves just aren't strong enough to stand up on their own just yet, and as a result they all kind of 'blended' into one another.
Another issue I had with this was the audio itself. Richard Hercher, although he does a decent job, I don't think is the right voice for a book like this. A novel I can see him doing well in, but for short stories there isn't enough range to differentiate between the stories. Not many people could, let's face it (I certainly couldn't), but this could well have had an effect on my enjoyment. There wasn't enough space given between the stories, which lended to the 'blending'. Also seemed a bit rushed at times, tripping over own tongue.

With a different narrator, this could have had a more positive effect on me, but to be honest I think the stories are generally quite weak. Good for a quick read/listen.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request via Audioboom and have voluntarily left this review.
