A short novella sized compilation of five mixed short stories. The stories are a hodgepodge of humor, military science fiction, space opera, and fantasy.
In "Dreamer", A cadet needs to grow up fast when she has to fight for her life when her ship is boarded.
In "Soar", Refugees trying to escape religious persecution end up sharing an escape pod with their sectarian oppressors.
In "Last Deployment", space marines go for an extended sleep in their stasis chambers. When they are revived there is a new world waiting for them.
In "Immortal", A man accepts a contract from aliens for immortality.
In "Heroes", the military unable to raise an army clones a highly decorated hero with unintended consequences.

Story
Emma Boone thought her dream job as the new Chief of Security on Lumina Station was going to be easy. She didn’t expect corruption, incompetence, and murder. Lumina was a “small-town” space station orbiting above an isolated, quiet, agri-colony planet specializing in exporting wheat, corn, bourbon, and a few other interesting, unusual commodities. When she took the job, she thought a small station with a tiny population of just over 4,000 people would be quiet compared to her last post.

Story
When out-of-shape IT technician Roen wakes up and starts hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumes he’s losing it. He isn’t. As of last night, he has a passenger in his brain - an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Over the millennia his people have trained human heroes to be great leaders, to advance our species at a rate far beyond what it would have achieved on its own. Split into two opposing factions - the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix - the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries.

Story
They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

Great stories, rough narration
The stories were hard to keep up with as the author just rapid fired through the words with a monotone. A professional narrator would have made this a very good listening.
That being said all of the stories left me wanting more. I will definitely look for more from this author.

Short and sweet!
This was a great set of short stories, which were narrated very well. Doug gave a great unique voice to each character in each story not so easy done. I think I enjoyed Soor more than the others, their characters seemed to just evoke more emotion. Of course these stories are meant to make you think, they don't sometimes end the way you wanted or hoped, but this was a very refreshing change.
Thank you for the opportunity to listen in. I'll look for more by this author and narrator :)

Great varied collection of short sci fi stories.
This is a nice, fairly quick collection of sci fi short stories, covering a variety of people, places and topics, from a cadet on a training cruise having to deal with armed boarders, to aliens escaping a battle in a lifepod, but the aliens turn out to be different than expected. All in all, very creative and I could see some seeds for future stories coming out of this.
Doug Tisdale does a good job bringing the stories to life, covering a wide variety of genders and personalities, as well as species.
I was voluntarily given this review audiobook by the author.

Great short stories
Each story was better than the one before. If you are a fan of sci-fi stories than you would probably enjoy this. If I had to name one thing wrong, I guess it would be that I did not quite like the person reading the book.

Pretty good stories
These are all good stories with a twist.
The narrator - as always - does an excellent job.
I was entertained - which is what I'm here for.
