Thoughts on Pets in Space 5: I have to say, I'm always thrilled with the stories presented in this antho. I get to revisit old favorites and meet both new-to-me characters and authors and I'm an 100% down with that!

The big draws (on this first pass) this time around were Veronica Scott's Star Cruise: Return Voyage and Regine Abel's Reaper.

The story of what happened to the Nebula Dream was my first introduction to the Veronica Scott's Special Forces world and it was SO FUN to revisit both one of the characters who survived that disaster and get to see her come to terms with how it shaped her life. Gianna got a little closure and Trevor had a terrible wrong righted and YESSSSSS. Just so much yes. So much.

Reaper takes us back to the world of the Xian Warriors and their brother Dragons, who broke ranks and rose up against the terrible aliens who were causing such widespread destruction in the universe. Reaper finds his special someone and Janelle gets to...well, live, really. Because her future before Reaper and the others broke into the secret base she was trapped in was looking pretty bleak. I will freely admit I have THE BIGGEST soft spot for hidden bases on the verge of falling down completely and I really REALLY liked how Janelle made things work for such a long time despite the awful situation she was in.

A big thumbs up all around for these fantastic stories (and the entire anthology)!
