Another Sara King book, and another rave review. I don't seem to be able to help myself with this writer. I read one of her books and I just have to read the next one.This is a collection of 3 short stories that give more insight and background into Sara's fantasy world, which I'm now addicted to. We meet a parasite named Stuart who falls in love with a human, I know it's hard to imagine, but Sara pulls it off making me question who are we really, our mind, our body or a combination.Another one of the stories is about an alien who wants to be a space pilot but his species only lives 25 turns(sort of a year) on average, and training a pilot takes 12 years so if Congress doesn't consider it economically feasible to train him.  Read how this alien not only beats the odds but transcends them.And finally, we get the backstory of the Bega, the insect alien that Zero has on his winning ground team. Who are they and what happens when they are first discovered by Congress.I'm not usually a short-story fan, but Sara manages to make me one the way she writes. Now I'm off to see what else this amazing writer has for me.
