Helpful Score: 1
So-so read. Futuristic themed anthology with four stories and relatively little plot.
The first story is a series of in jokes [Star Trek, Galaxy Quest, and the Lensmen books to name just a few] pasted together... Happiness ensues.
The second was perky earth girl thrown into the harem of the planetary king. She tries repeatedly to escape, they fall in love, happiness ensues.
Beautiful robots try to take over the world, inventor defeat them and rescues the girl - happiness ensues.
Bollywood-style actor makes his living as a sex star but is still virginal - meets girl of his dreams via dating service and happiness ensues.
[Don't you wonder how these guys actually accomplish anything when they spend so much in bed?]

Since Cynthia gave you the overall feel of the stories, I'll pass on that part. I'm hoping I didn't pay for this book because if I did, I wasted my money. The first story was good, the second story was good. Have you ever read a story by an author and you thought "I really like this author"? Well, the last two stories are by authors that I like. However, if I would have read these two stories first I never would have picked up another book by either of them! One other thing that bothered me about this book is that it really needed a good proof-reader.
