Harmon Tomeral and his friends wanted nothing more than to go to space, and they have beaten the odds, time and again. They developed a mech and won the Top Fleet Marine Competition. They brought back a battlecruiser from an unknown system and made it their own. They made allies who helped them achieve great victories, and they ultimately founded new colonies in what has become known as the Salvage System.
The galaxy is a big place, though, peopled with thousands of races, and most haven’t graced the pages of a Salvage Title book…until now.
“It Takes More Kinds” contains twelve all-new stories showcasing even more of the aliens in the Salvage Universe, and helps give a wider view of the galaxy as events continue to transpire in The Coalition series. No matter the odds, though, Harmon Tomeral will be there to stick up for the little guy. From humans stuck being the freak show in an alien carnival to a battle that hinges on a salad, anything is possible. But is making friends with the Squilla and trusting them with your life just too much to ask?
Inside are potential allies for Harmon Tomeral and his friends…as well as some of the adversaries who are lining up against Salvage System. Who are these new races? Take a look inside and find out!

In a previous lifetime, William Joseph Roberts was an F-15 mechanic and Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force. He has traveled the world and experienced many things in his few years. During this lifetime, he has been called a Jack of all trades, a Renaissance man, and an insane squirrel wrangler by his peers.
Since his enlistment ended, he has perused careers as an industrial and architectural designer, design engineer, award winning author, editor, and publisher with Three Ravens Publishing.
William Joseph Roberts currently resides in the quaint southern town of Chickamauga, Georgia with his loving wife, three freaky-smart nerd children, and a small pack of fur babies.
Brisco Woods was born and raised in the Appalachian region of East Tennessee. His first pair of boots were issued to him by the USAF when he showed up to basic training in homespun pants and bare feet. The Air Force, in all its wisdom, thought he would be a great candidate to work on nuclear ICBM’s, so he was sent to the cornfields of Illinois to learn what an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile was. After some intense training and discovering what real winter was, he thought, off he went on his first over seas assignment, to North Dakota.
Through his career of 23 years in the US Air Force, he went on to work on avionics equipment on several different air frames and then spent his last 4 years in Command and Control. He eventually got tired of going into work on the ground floor and taking an elevator down to the concrete cave that was his life, and retired.
After having to write a separate resume for every job he was applying for, he decided “to hell with this” and became a Realtor.
Upon seeing how successful his little brother and sister were as authors, he caved in to his brothers constant jabbering about writing and made a story in the Fallen World universe that this same brother had created.
Since the first story was received well, he has branched out to some SciFi and done a few of stories in Kevin Steverson’s Salvage Universe. He also completed a novel from the original Fallen World tale, another short story in Among The Embers, and a novel from the character introduced there. He has an immediate follow up to that novel and two in the Salvage Title universe in the work with more to come.
I am a retired Air Force veteran who’s flown rescue and special ops C-130’s for 18 years. I’ve been to all the places and done all the things. Now I’m hoping to translate those experiences to science fiction and fantasy. So far I’ve weaseled my way into Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy’s Four Horsemen Universe as well as Bayonet Books Storming Area 51 anthology, but I’ve been working on other things as well. I’m primarily in military science fiction, but have hopes to write some alternate history and possibly some military fantasy. We’ll see, the ride’s just getting started.

Some of Dan’s earliest memories include watching Godzilla movies and Star Trek re-runs on television. This love of monster movies and TV SciFi eventually led to his reading just about every bit of science fiction and fantasy he could get his hands on. An Army Brat and a Marine Veteran, Dan has lived on both coasts, the Midwest, Korea and Kuwait. He now lives with his wife and daughters in Colorado, where he supports training for the US Military.
Nick Steverson is your everyday, blue-collar liquor vendor. Using his class-A CDL he delivers wine and liquor from Pensacola to Tallahassee. When not on the road, he takes as many opportunities as possible to write down the chaotic musings of the deranged voices in his head. Since he was young, he has always wanted to write a book, but never took the time to actually sit down and do it. His wife and children were, and remain, his first priority, leaving little time for much else. Inspiration to make the time came from his father one night after sending a text about an idea about a race of characters for his father’s books. The last answer he expected to get was, “You write it,” but that’s exactly what he got. So, he did. Sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge in the right direction, and the story writes itself. He now has multiple publications in the Salvage Title Universe including a wide variety of novels and several short stories. Additionally, he has short stories in the Four Horsemen Universe, Starflight Universe, and This Fallen World. He’s not done yet, though. There are many more stories to come.
A lover of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, Matt Novotny has been an avid reader since childhood. Still firmly convinced that the worlds between the pages are more interesting than the one he lives in, Matt began writing in 2020 in order to escape the voices in his head, or at least quiet them down.
When not writing he spends time gaming, antiquing, or wandering in the mountains, A Colorado native, he lives in Littleton, Colorado, surrounded by ever-increasing piles of books, Lovecraft collectables, and unfinished home and garden projects.

While the return of favorite characters is always welcome, the addition of many new characters and viewpoints provides the highlights of this collection. My personal favorites in this anthology include “Whatever Happened to Charlie Biggs” by Matt Novatny, “Escape to Salvage System” by P.A. Piatt and “Salvage Angel” by Casey Moores. Each of these tales bring a unique new viewpoint and set of characters to the Salvage Universe.
While this collection can be read and enjoyed on its own, plan ahead as you will surely be left wanting more.
