Summary

Survival tales in the skies of Uranus, desperate struggles at the solar system's edge, and near-lightspeed interstellar expeditions await in this hard science fiction collection of seven Hayden’s World short stories.

Forty-Three Seconds: James Hayden has a dream, and the Riggs test vehicle is going to take him there. But when failure after failure leads to his last chance exploding spectacularly, he must partner with an AI and gamble everything for one last shot at the stars.

Silver-Side Up: Two old friends, a silver space ship, and a perfect day for a test flight.

Erebus: In one month, Sarah will take the helm of the newest Riggs ship. But growing opposition may shut down the program before she gets her chance. When James’s last-ditch publicity stunt traps him light-days from rescue, Sarah must decide just how far she’s willing to go to save a friend.

Signal Loss: Life aboard the Aristarchus isn’t much of an adventure, and Kyan just wants to do his job and get back to his family. When he discovers a mysterious object at the edge of the solar system and an unexpected contact during comms loss, data running turns life-or-death 13 billion kilometers from home.

Last Stand: Kyan testifies about the events in Signal Loss, but other agendas are in play.

Aero One: Jia can’t breathe, her ship is minutes from breaking apart in Uranus’s atmosphere, and the lifepod just burned up. Things aren’t going well. When her injured engineer’s solution sends them plummeting into the icy stratosphere, they find themselves trapped in a life-or-death battle against time, the elements, and unexpected visitors.

Titan’s Shadow: A year later after the events of Aero One, Jia is trying to restart her life as a freelancer aboard Saturn’s newly-built Cassini Station. But Cassini has its own secrets. When a chance encounter with a past adversary sets old battles in motion, she must unravel the mystery of Titan’s Shadow before more lives are lost.

A nice collection of short stories

A collection of short stories that is a chronological build up in a single setting. I actually quite like the style and the idea of humanity taking first steps into the galaxy always ticks my boxes, and it was generally good. While more on the realistic side, it didn't always hit the right notes. The stories also blurred into one another to an extent rather than them being stand-alone.

Lots of information

I enjoyed this book for the most part but must admit there was a lot of information that went over my head. Even so I still enjoyed the story’s and the excellent narration by Shamaan Casey. Many books are ruined by bad narration but not this one!
