But the future of the colony planet, Terra Nova, and its relations with Old Earth is far more a case of boot out your tired, your poor, your dissidents, and troublemakers. Use us for a dumping ground for all your problems. Go ahead and abandon these here. This may have been fine, too, but for the UN and its corrupt bureaucracy insisting on maintaining control and milking the new world and its settlers, willing and unwilling both, bone dry.

Contained herein are tales of the history of mankind's future first colony, from the first failed attempt at colonization, to the rise in crime, to the rise in terrorism, to its descent into widespread civil war and rebellion...and ultimately, liberation. As with most of human history, this history is messy, with good men and women turning bad, bad men and women inadvertently doing good, and blood flowing in the streets.

Stories by: Vivienne Raper, Mike Massa, Peter Grant, Chris Nuttall, Robert E. Hampson, Monalisa Foster, Justin Watson, Kacey Ezell, Christopher L. Smith, Alexander Macris, Lawrence Railey, and Tom Kratman.

Fair installment of the series

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

This set of linked short stories are a good but not great contribution to the author's main series of novels. I would highly recommend you read the series starting at the beginning or you really won't understand the context for some of these stories. Part of the fun of these series is being immersed in a complex alternate world with all of it's personal drama, politics and conflict. You will miss a lot by just dropping in on this small slice of that universe. The book is edited decently for the most part.

Does not provide a Carrera fix!

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this without reading the full description and was expecting some short stories in Carrera's world. They turned out to be from a time before Carrera. I forced myself to read the whole thing. Some of the stories were mildly interesting and included some combat scenes, but if I could do it over, I would not spend the time or money again.

A very good read

Provides some in depth detail on the background of the Geopolitical situation in Tom Kratman's Carreraverse.

Several of the stories are worthy of the screen, big or small.

The Long, Dark Goodnight would make a fantastic story on screen.

All in all, a good set of reads for any Fan of Heinlein, Pournelle, Ringo or Kratman.

The Col has put together a top notch group of authors to write stories set in his universe. well written individual stories separate yet adding to the whole. I literally had a hard time putting it down. Each small story is a part of the big picture. Like frames from a movie.

If you are smart enough to realize that the UN is anti-freedom then this is the book for you!!! Great stories by great authors. I had it finished within 48 hours of its arrival.

Back to Terra Nova

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2019

This is a collection of short stories all dealing with the new planet and her newly established colonies. Many of the places are very familiar to those readers of the "Carreraverse" and some long back stories are fleshed out here. Leading to some new questions (of course).
Good reading all around.

Curate's Trixie Eggs Short Story Collection.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Most of these short stories are good,I enjoyed some more than others,as is inevitable in any Multi-Author Collection. Adds a LITTLE to the "CarreraVerse" as to what happened on Terra Nova before the Worlds turned. I had hoped that there would have been a Collection on the Wars between the Terra Nova States prior to the MAIN story line,but that it seems is unlikely. As ever,we must await the next episode in the Main story line as regards the change of status of the Tauran Union,etc.Can but hope the next and last[hopefully not!]volume will come out faster than the last one!

Good read.

Great introduction to the Carrera series, fleshing out the back story, hinted at in the Krattman books. The stories are well written and mesh well together. Damn good read TBH. Can't wait for the second in the series.

Great Lineup

Reviewed in Australia on August 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Kratman has assembled a great team for this collection. Terra Nova is the canvas on which the messy future of humanity is painted. All the vertues and vices of the powerful and powerless are on display. It's hard to tell which was the best but the first entry deserves an honourable mention. Modern policeing from what I've read in the media and have been told by recently retired officers is a mess of sensitivity training, insane levels of paperwork and identity politics. Shoehorn this concept of policeing on a multi-ethnic and national colony ship to the stars. Oh, and try not to cry as things inevitably unravel. I can't say I enjoyed it as it's only to possible given modern politics and international governance. The other stories cover the budding resistance to the UN's polocies. Lest a reader think some of the activities described are over the top read how UN peacekeepers treat locals where they operate. I'll be eager to read the next collection of stories in this setting.
