A lot of science fiction stories tend to get bogged down in the "science" aspect, but James McAllister has done an excellent job in combining just enough science with some entertaining tales to make for some enjoyable reading that will appeal to more than just the sci-fi buffs.These short stories are a fun way to fill a few minutes now and then.  I liked the oblique humor in "Used Car Salesman," but my overall favorite was "The Battle of Nili Patera."  It is so well-executed with the voices of a variety of characters--not so easily done!  Yet McAllister's finesse pulls it off.  Despite a few errors, this is a collection of well-written, clever tales by a first-class storyteller.  I highly recommend it.
