Dark Beyond the Stars: A Space Opera Anthology

These stories are very beginner level (nothing new or memorable) ones, the kind of fiction amateur wannabe writers write in fanzines. None really terrible, but neither good. I have been avidly reading tons of scifi for more than 30 years and never heard of any of these authors: should have ringed a bell. The fact there are 12 authors and only 62 reviews, about all of them extatic (about 5 friends per author) should have ringed another. Well, my bad. Be warned and do not make the same mistake. There was one goodish story (containment) , but even that one went on too slowly for its own good.
PS. I did love the covers for the entire Beyond the Stars series, though: don't know who did them, but great work, congratulations!
