review:

'Infinite Science Fiction One' is a pretty good collection of sf stories. I rather liked all of them, but I had favorites by the end.



There are themes of robots, like a conman trying to pass a real child off to a family as a robot child, or the man who loathes robots and the reasons that he does. A captured shapeshifting alien gets a chance at escape. A time-traveler finds romance in catastrophe. An expedition tries to find out about a missing colony and finds terrifying results. A lonely rover sends out a message without answer. A sentient shipwreck guards its precious cargo until it can be recovered.



I really liked the stories in this collection. They are all interesting and unique. I liked the takes on stories about a child pretending to be a perfect robot child. I especially like the final story about a dying smartship protecting it's cargo with the help of a onboard robot. Every story has a short bio about the author. I don't know that I was familiar with any of the authors, but I still enjoyed the selection in this anthology.



I received a review copy of this ebook from Infinite Acacia and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
