Now I want a complete series about this crew.

read some, skip some. dislike most of it. too short for my taste.
no, this is not a critic. usually I just remove books from my shelf if I don't like it, but several stories in this book is actually quite entertaining.

see my rating for this book like a non-fiction book lover will give rating for fiction book.

A great collection of great short stores. They really do run the gamut of modern SciFi/Fantasy and they're almost all good. So good in fact I almost want to go out and buy a copy to lend to people. If you're thinking about reading it, definitely give it a chance and even movie it up your list. It's collections like these (and Pump Six) that really make me love short stories.
