Elizabeth Moon is perhaps the most prolific science fiction author in the last twenty years. In a span of time from the Gulf War to the present, the former United States Marine and equestrian enthusiast has published almost twenty novels, and several other short stories. Her Legacy of Gird series is one of the most popular. With a range encompassing the horrific to the fanciful, the sensual to the bizarre, Moon’s writing has remained diverse even as she continues to explore the limits of sci-fi. Moon Flights is no different.
A collection of twenty of Moon’s most popular short stories, Moon Flights represents sixteen years of solid science fiction. From the earthy “If Nudity Offends You” to the raw and emotional “Politics”, Moon presents a series of tales that presents humanity at its most unprocessed: fleshy, brutish, stirring, uproarious. Fans of the Ladies Armor and Aid Society will appreciate stories such as “And Ladies of the Club” and “No Pain, No Gain.” Yet those who prefer gravitas in their writing will be equally pleased with her trenchant (and very relevant) futuristic military tales.
The only downside is that there aren’t enough stories to consume.
At $7.99, Moon Flights is one paperback that delivers more than its money’s worth.
