[Cameron Trost]

"The Way of the Laser" offers the reader crime stories set in the future, in this world and beyond. This anthology is perfect for fans of speculative fiction. The talent these authors have for world-building is clear from the very first tale, and the exploration of the increasingly important role technology plays in our lives holds our interest. The crime element, for the most part, plays second fiddle, and I found this a little unfortunate as a fan of detective stories. In some cases, there isn't really an crime per se at all in the story. Nevertheless, these are well-written tales of sci-fi that will appeal to fans of the genre, and I suspect quite a number will be highly appreciated by gamers. The editing and layout is professional. This is an emerging publisher to keep on your radar...or some more futuristic means of surveillance.
