This was a strong collection of stories and enjoyed how each one was used in this genre. I enjoyed the overall experience and how everything worked with what I was expecting.

Set in the last days of Earth before it's death causing the evacuation of citizens that will settle Mercury in James Bow's SUN RUNNER, Tales From the Silence is a group of short stories from some of today's best SciFi authors. As in all collections, readers will love some stories more than others, but each will fascinate you with "what could happen". I love collections and anthologies for the opportunity to find new to me authors and series. Each story displays the authors skills as they must acpture the reader and bring the story to life in fewer pages than many chapters in a novel. I read SUN RUNNER first and it's a fantastic read. These stories add depth to the background so could be read either before or after SUN RUNNER. Either way, both books should move to the top of your TBR list.
