Battles for the Stars by Dave Dryfoos ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

Battles for the Stars by Dave Dryfoos audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Battles for the Stars is a fast-moving anthology of classic short science fiction centered on conflict in many forms: battlefield action, cold war brinkmanship, and moral battles over what it means to be human. Across a wide range of settings, the collection follows desperate diplomats trying to stop an alien threat before it can report back to its empire, commanders and scientists forced to weigh duty against conscience, and professional fighters pushed into contests where the odds are never what they seem. Other tales explore the machinery of future war, from uncanny weapons and military automation to grim social experiments that send the young to fight for the sake of 'peace.' Dave Dryfoos appears as one of the contributing authors, with a tense, near-future chase in which Robbie must choose where his loyalty lies - with a robot or with a man - as danger closes in on the Golden Gate Bridge. Read as a set, these stories deliver quick hooks, sharp twists of premise, and the uneasy question that lingers after the shooting stops: what, exactly, is worth defending when the battlefield is the stars?
