Deep Space collects seven short stories from the outer rim: "Live by the Ten, Die by the Gun"; "From Gaia to Proxima Centauri"; "Resurrection of the Hornet"; "Autonomic Zen and the Art of Destruction"; "From Scheol My Soulfire Burns"; "Dance by the Light of the Moon"; "Tomorrow's Dawn".

I have read/listen to other short stories by Milo James Fowler with more dystopian themes that I liked a lot, so I was a bit let down when this group of stories (some way bigger, some way smaller) fail to get to some kind of point - that is always important to me even in short stories. Still, the universes created are interesting and one can get inspirations from them, for example.
I would urge anybody that starts with this book to try other stories from this author - this is the reason why I usually say I like stories and not authors.
Space Theme not the authors best, but still ok

"From Gaia to Proxima Centauri" is more solid but it still presents "holes", since Gaia search for time gaps and finds none, but she is told there should be...
"Resurrection of the hornet" is a flash fiction but one depending on a Deus-ex Maquina super item.
and so and so... all in good ideas, but lacking in the execution.

The narrator does a good job telling the stories.
A strange collection of futuristic short stories

There’s the technical side and performance side.
A lot of the P’s, F’s and T’s are pretty forceful sounding and come with a lot of air, which was just really distracting.
Also, the narrator essentially keeps up the same rhythm, melody, tone, pacing and voice throughout the entire book. There is a bit of urgency in it, so for a few minutes it’s fine, but after a short while you lose track of who’s talking, what’s happening, time changes, emotions or intensity of the moments etc, as it all sounds samey.
And that for me contributed a lot to making it difficult to keep track of the story altogether.
Book has great potential, sadly not the best narration

The first story is was my favorite. It's almost like a space western but the culture is actually closer to the Hebrews in the old testament.
"Live by the Ten Die by the Gun" takes place on a sanctuary station, a place where people who accidentally kill someone can go for refuge. It was this Biblical detail that really invested me in the story.
It also helps that this story is the longest at almost fifty percent of the length. It really gave me time to meet the characters.
The rest of the stories are much shorter and honestly, a little forgettable. None of them stayed with me as much as that first story did.
Don Wang the narrator did a good job with his narration.

Which makes this book so out of it, almost impossible to understand all those short stories which if you do you must go through those stories again and again, only then if you are lucky you’ll get them all and then you’ll get the awesome brain behind those stories.
Unusual.
