Story4.5 out of 5 stars 51
Lance Corporal Hondo McKeever is a peacetime marine. Humanity is hooked into a limited war with the alien Klethos, where gladiator-style combat decides the fate of worlds. Hondo's career has consisted of training hard but never seeing actual battle. All of that changes when a new enemy invades the galaxy. One that forces humanity and the Klethos to forge an unlikely alliance. But can the Klethos be trusted? Mankind hasn’t fought an all-out war in centuries, but they’re about to. And the Grub invaders are bent on running the galaxy.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 116
In war, there is no second place. To ensure victory, planetary governments employ private armies to help fight their battles. And the Berserkers are the best. As the galaxy's preeminent mercenary force, they are hired by governments and corporations to do jobs that are too tough, too messy, or too deadly for their own forces. Expertly trained and equipped with the most advanced weaponry, they are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill a contract - if the price is right.

It started as a simple heist. It went to hell from there. On a space station orbiting a pale blue sun, a package changes hands. Data too sensitive to transmit will be exposed for one brief moment. The client is paying a crazy sum - if the job is clean. That’s not going to happen. Instead, the galaxy’s unluckiest crew of outlaws will have to put all their resources into salvaging what they can from the job. Even if it’s only avoiding blame for the fallout.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

great sci-fi concepts
I thought some of these stories were just okay but some were absolutely spectacular. my favorites were after the victory and integration. dark sci-fi dozen well can just make you think about the possibilities. I see so.much potential in mecha sub-genre now that I've read this anthology.

Not 'as advertised'
Although good SciFi stories and they did, in general, have Mechs - it wasn't the fighting, stomping big ass Mechs doing battles across the galaxy from the general story description.
It is more a deep sci-fi / horror tech thriller group of short stories, good if you wanted that less so if you just wanted the cool mech stuff.
