“War has always been a part of human existence, and those battles will spill into deep space. Space Battles is a collection of science fiction short stories focused on war in space, as seventeen authors come together and discuss the next generation of combat. From ships that can think for themselves, how much one is really willing to sacrifice, and other dilemmas that may face us in the future. For those enraptured by deep space and the far future, Space Battles is a strongly enticing collection, not to be missed.—Midwest Book Reviews, October 2012
