Review: Good but not great.

Five complete stories in one book seems like a bargain, but you get what you pay for. There are punctuation and grammatical errors peppered through all five stories - an editor was needed. The premise for the stories was good and they were cohesive, the transitions from one author to the next fairly smooth. Two of the stories (the first and the last) were quite good. They were semi-logical and well thought out. The story of the "scientists" is the weakest as it is truly unbelievable, rushed, and frankly, stupid. Historical accuracy was too much to hope for, apparently, as through all five stories characters seemed confused over how to address each other. It was especially jarring to read everyone calling Langley "Duke" - how about throwing in a  "your grace" once in a while? Or, even just, "Langley"? It was like they were talking about a dog named "Duke."
