Stellar Cloud, by Charity Bradford, is a collection of intriguing short science fiction stories that leave you wanting more. I listened to Stellar Cloud through Audible.com and was pleasantly surprised. I have not read many short stories before and I was caught off guard by how engaged I became with each story. I listened to them while working on a tedious and boring project for work, so it made the project much more enjoyable.
All of the stories are unique in regards to characters, worlds, plot, etc... The retelling of the classic fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, with the scifi twist, was my favorite story. Though the Assasin world, reprogrammed aliens with wings, mental collective and all of the stories were equally great. I felt like I listened to a season of Dr. Who.
The narrator definitely added to the stories and was entertaining. My only complaint is that the short stories were so interesting that it left me wanting more when each ended.
I would give Stellar Cloud a PG-13 rating, mostly for the action and violence, though there are a few mild innuendo and swears. The narration is only 1 1/2 hours long, so it's a fun, quick read (or a fun, quick listen)
BOOK SUMMARY:
A soldier struggles with the emptiness left behind by amnesia until he learns he is more than the world would have him remember. The earth is desolate, and only one ship of humans remains. An assassin plays god, dealing out justice and mercy as he sees fit.
Explore the outer reaches of the imagination through these and other short stories. From brainwashed clones to winged aliens of destruction, the stories in Stellar Cloud will pull in any lover of science fiction and fantasy.
