Excellent anthology

The premise of this short story collection is quite simple yet very clever. These tales focus on employment in outer space in the distant future when the solar system and beyond are settled and are short hops away. The fourteen tales that make up this anthology are fun to follow as the audience, for the most part, will believe in the various worlds, species, and especially the assorted jobs. The want ads that open up each story are enjoyable in of themselves as they put the space twist to typical employment opportunities whether they are minimum wage custodial workers, professional blue-collar skills or office work.

The SPACE INC. collection entertains the audience who will finish the book and wonder with their present skills what job could he or she hold in outer space. As for moi, telecommuting as an intergalactic book reviewer using Babel to translate critiques into Martian (thrillers), Venusian (romance), or Jovian (epic fantasy) seems obvious so where is that want ad?

The Human Touch...

The future in space, be it with aliens or robots, will still need humans. Cooks, doctors, bar keeps, engineers, dancers, will all find a niche within the future of space travel and mankind's advance into the Galaxy. 14 original stories made for this book. Get it for your sci-fi library. Fun, touching and interesting.


Space INC.

I highly recommend this book!

The stories contained are in the Hard SF category and set mostly in the near future and within our own solar system.

Some of my favourites are:

I KNEW A GUY ONCE - kept me laughing at how people don't change, no mater where they are.

COME ALL YE FAITHFUL - What an interesting story; what would it be like to be a priest on Mars?

CATALOG OF WOE - Really makes you think about the responsibility of colonizing new worlds.

A MAN'S PLACE - No job is unimportant in space!

Most of the stories are of high quality and the book is well worth the money!

Worth reading!

A wonderful book of short stories based on jobs in the future. I enjoyed most of the stories and their take on what the future has in store. Very interesting and creative ideas. It makes you wonder what the world will be like in 200, 500, 1000 years from now.
