We were in the Clarion West Workshop for Science Fiction and Fantasy class of 2001. Other than that, we're about as diverse as you can get. This anthology is one of the broadest samples you can find of up and coming science fiction and fantasy talent.

Eight light-years from Earth, the fate of a terraforming expedition depends on brave souls. Human and AI.

After a colony world's founder commits suicide, two men battle for control.

The Electrotelepathic Community bound Henri to the Unity and brought news of the Unity's many victories against its galactic rival, the Tiánquán... and the Unity would never lie.

Decades ago, we made our separate ways to the desert planet of Elard.
We shared a common purpose: enlighten the planet’s low-tech, violent
aliens with our different paths of uplift. Though we served different
ideals, we became friends… until our friendship dissolved into illicit
affairs.
And an unexplained disappearance....

A captain, a commissar, and the ultimate crisis at 0.99c:

If your propulsion system goes off-line, how can you slow down?

A billion-year-old alien ship. A great treasure. A great danger.

With a last surge of the main drive, Barnet matched our bearing and speed with the alien derelict.

Skill moves.

Big hits.

All while managing your team’s limited supply of jet pack air.

Her only chance to escape her home asteroid colony and choose a life for herself.

In its off-line data vault in Vienna, the biotech company Katalysis hid a gene therapy technology that could cure diseases and remake people into strange new forms. Could two young American hackers, and a jaded European agent, work together to penetrate the company's vault and release that new tech...

After the EU's army of war robots overran Mexico, Francisca and her daughter gathered refugees from the ruins and fled to a new home in the asteroid belt.

But the rogues and pirates roving the belt threatened her colony, poised to plunder the vein of nearly-pure blond—rubia—platinum in their asteroid's core.

Now help comes. Help Francisca loathes to ask. A renegade European and his war robot.

The war robot that might have killed her son.
