From the clouds of Venus to the origins of the time gates, this collection of novellas and short fiction visits many favourite worlds of the Quantum Evolution universe, as well as some new to the series. With two 20,000-plus-word novellas and four long short stories, this collection is a stunning showcase of talent.

Enjoyable though a bit patchy

Mostly loved it. T Ryder Smith is one of the best narrators oit there. He has made Künske thoroughly enjoyable.

Most of these short stories - cleverly placed on the Quantum Novels universe - are very good. Informative on some characters background, and/or to the circumstances leading to the events in the "main sequence novels".

The one I struggled with was the last one placed in China. Simply because there were so many jumps between numerous different characters, names and dates. It all became a bit of a jumble and I simply lost track of the strory.

Still, well worth the credit and the time spent. Even if not Künske's absolute best, it is still miles above most of the current competition that passes for Space Opera for Audible.
