Harmon Tomeral and his friends have beaten the odds, time and again, to establish Salvage System as a beacon of hope, and it is seen as an inspiration for how races can coexist and govern themselves. The members of Salvage System have also been instrumental in helping other systems defend themselves and throw off oppressive regimes.

But the galaxy is a big place, and many of the races in it aren’t friendly. Would these forces like to take over Salvage System and acquire its resources? Absolutely.

Many tales of adventure can’t be contained in a short story, though, like the birth of Earth as an interstellar nation or what happens when two forces scavenge the same boneyard; sometimes it takes more. This book contains five novellas that expand the Salvage Title Universe and give glimpses of where it was thousands of years ago…and where it will be soon.

All the stories are from veteran Salvage Title authors who know where the universe is going and who are actively crafting its journey. From a dragon searching for honor to the creation of a mercenary force for good, all of these stories offer additional insights into the Salvage Title Universe. Strap in and get ready, because here’s the long and short of it…

Fantastic and Entertaining Collection!

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020

The Long and the Short of It was a very entertaining and fun collection to read. This is an on-going theme with Chris Kennedy Publishing and suggests the Publisher and Editors are very good at what they do. The book contains five novellas that take place at different times and locations in the Salvage System Universe. The collection shows how vast the Salvage System Universe is and the potential it has for fiction expansion. There is plenty of action, intrigue, and a really nice camp fire story. Now I just want to read The Lost Hand of Camp Runnamuck by Robert E. Hampson. If you have not read any books in this series this collection would be a good place to start and would make a great introduction to the series.

One lasting effect of growing old is the inability to remember more than one story at a time... For that I offer many apologies.

Please understand that I enjoyed all of this collection. As it happens the last offering is foremost in my mind. It must take a lot of planning to successfully merge a planet of ancient dragons, living many thousands of years into other universal settings. In this case including the Salvage Universe and hints of the wildly popular Four Horsemen Universe but the many authors contribute to both.
The one suggestion I offer is anthologies should be rated one novella at a time, at the end of each submission before moving on to the next story in the collection. That would be far more useful in rating differing authors submissions.

Interesting stories

Another very good anthology for a growing science fiction universe. Excellent variety that expands and fills in aspects to the overall story. I just wish their were a few more in this anthology. These aren't entirely vital to the main novels, but they definitely enrich the series. You definitely want to read the Salvage Title trilogy before you start this one. I highly recommend each of them.

Some of the stories sre very good, some not so good. Since i wasnt planning om doing a book report this will have to do... I love the Salvage Title series. Had i known this wa a "shared world" I would probably passed on it.

Try it your self. It's cheaper than a hamburger.

Once again we get to meet characters and get the background that fills in their stories. The setup for more amazing tales is also something to look forward to as well ! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
