a collection of short stories about the future that all have something negative overall taking place in society or with the world itself. Hurray for Dystopian writing? ( )

A full-length novel, and a host of short novels and more fill an action-packed volume by the master of science fiction adventure. — Mal was heading across an America ravaged by worldwide earthquakes when he ran into a dying stranger who babbled of men who weren't really men, and had an unusual gold coin which no expert could identify. Soon, someone who wanted the coin back was on his trail - and they weren't human...The commander of the fleet that just annihilated the alien enemy has decided to become world dictator unless his second in command can stop him...A national test condemns a man to a life of unskilled labor, unless he can find a way around the system. ( )

Could be just me, but these were novellas that should have been much shorter........ ( )

This is this first book that I've gotten from DailyLit. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get into it. The story was okay, but not interesting enough for me to want to keep reading it. ( )
