All the stories of Allen Steele's award-winning "Near Space" series--now in an expanded and revised second edition Since its first publication in 1999, Sex and Violence in Zero-G has become one of the most long-sought and hard-to-find of Steele's books. At last, this massive collection is back in print--complete with a new introduction, five additional stories, and a revised timeline. Includes the Hugo Award-winning novella "The Death of Captain Future" and the Hugo Award-winning novelette "The Emperor of Mars." Reviews: ...the Near Space series "presents a realistic and action-packed modern vision of the industrialization of space and those who make it happen. If the collective governments of the world had any sense, they'd be using these books as texts for ushering in a future worth having." --Analog Science Fiction and Fact "Sex and Violence in Zero-G collects some important work by an author who has become one of the finer hard science fiction writers around... definitely a worthwhile collection." --Sci-Fi Weekly (A-) "Steele's stories strive for a welcome verisimilitude, and how things might work in an environment that actively works against that sort of thing. And it works. Put ordinary people into a harsh, hostile environment, do bad things to them and then watch how they deal with it. It's a winning combination, especially as written by Allen Steele." --Tangent Online "For those of you unfortunate enough to have not yet discovered Allen Steele, this collection of short stories is the perfect place to start." --Explorations… (más)

This is a good, fun collections of short science fiction stories. The title is a bit misleading, but that does not take away from the stories. I would suggest this to anyone who enjoys science fiction. ( )

A collection of all the short fiction in Steele's history of the beginnings of human colonization of the solar system. These stories were originally published starting in the late 1980's, so a lot of the earlier stories do feel dated with mentions of people in the 2020's dealing with the Soviet Union and listening to CD's. The timeline is also very optimistic with heavy space industrialization and moon missions happening around 2010. The stories set later in time were generally more interesting since they felt less dated and were mostly written later as Steele became a better writer.

The main problem with the stories is that they are almost all done in the style of someone retelling a story from the past in an almost journalistic fashion, so there is really no suspense or character development, just a straightforward retelling of what happened. What is interesting in most of the stories is the non-glamourous view of what life in space could really be like for the ordinary people trying to work there.

My favorite stories in the collection were probably the two Captain Future stories and "The Emperor of Mars". ( )

Pleasantly surprised, that's what I am. Generally I'm not a fan of short stories, but wow these ones hooked me. These stories realize a possible future, in which mankind accepts its destiny as a space faring species. As expected with any good short stories I was sad that many of them ended. This book had several advantages that many short stories don't. First the stories all take place in the same universe, and are in chronological order. This created a book that even with all short stories, the continuity worked well, and the reader did not feel like they were diving into a new book every chapter. It also explored many ideas and possible futures that I related with well. Fun book, fun stories, wish there were expanded versions!

P.S. Sadly the typos took away from the book sometimes, but they were not as overwhelming as I have seen in some other ebooks. I am not sure why ebooks have such bad editing as they are generally not even spell checked it seems like, and have horrible formatting. Oh well. ( )
