Solid Series Introduction. This is an introductory book to a very loosely coupled set of tales of middle aged women going on cruises for various reasons, written by a swath of women's fiction authors. Here, we get the prologue - essentially the "inciting incident", to use technical terms - for each of the eight actual tales in the series. And each one completely works, in its own ways. I truly want to see how each of these stories play out, and I'm glad that they'll all release within a couple of months of each other, essentially one every couple of weeks or so, as that makes it quite easy indeed to finish one right as the next one releases. :D I've read a few of these authors before (Bratt, Keim, Bromke) and *know* how good storytellers these ladies are. I'm trusting that the company they keep is equally strong, and based on the prologues in this collection I'm expecting that my trust is well placed indeed. And yet the loosely coupled nature of this collection means that if you read this particular book and find that one or another tale doesn't quite strike you... you lose nothing in skipping that particular book. So get this one, read it - and get ready for some great tales on the high seas. Very much recommended.
