- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5On content alone, I'd give the anthology 4.5 stars, but I'm knocking off points for labeling a sci-fi/fantasy collection with the gender-specific label of "GUYS Read." Science fiction needs more women, not less.
Most of the stories in this book are excellent. Standouts are Frost and Fire by Rad Bradbury and The Dirt on Our Shoes. There was one story involving cats that didn't stick it's ending, but most of the stories were well written. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was one of those novellas that you'll end up just giggling through. I don't mean it as an insult, and if you read Rick Riordin's works you would know that. He's very good at balancing humor and drama. This story is pretty much humor/comedy and well worth the quick read. It has Apollo in it, so what could possibly go wrong? ;) I would recommend this story. 5 out of 5 stars.
