It's a series of vignettes and short stories set in a common universe in the future. This book is neither a novel nor an anthology. If you combine that with skilled story-telling and imaginative world-building then you arrive at something very much like Dean Smith-Richard's first novel, 3024AD. I'm not sure about you, but to begin with, just the concept of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' in space is very attractive to me. Read onward for rapid space battles, deathly cost, rebellion, and mystery, but only if you care to discover danger in 3024 A.D. It tells of humanity in the future, how small choices matter and how small paths cross- for good or evil. It tells the tales of several persons, with dark and secret pasts, with only a hint of a promise of revelation. This collection of stories reaches into the future one thousand years. The conquered universe is a political powder-keg, ready to explode on dozens of stations and planets. New York City is a commonly known archaeological dig.
Titan Station, once mankind's greatest achievement, orbits Jupiter, abandoned to gangsters. Frontier planets, barely livable, are worked only by the bravest. The modern world has expanded into outer space, and thousands of businesses and corporations possess planets instead of factories. In the future, humanity is still much itself.
