A solid first entry from editor and scribe, CM Muller. "Synth" features dark sci-fi from eight different writers, all ranging from the harder side of sci-fi, to noir, and to space opera.

Very good collection. Most 4-5*s for me. Farah Rose Smith was the lone 1*, due to the fact that however poetically beautiful, it was incomprehensible and cloying to fight my way through, given there were more footnotes than printed pages.
