I am really really looking forward to this. There are some really impressive names in that list! I can't wait to find out more specific details about the stories. I wonder how big the anthology is going to be with that many writers?

Ultramorph

Fantastic! I can't wait to see what sorts of stories we get.

PRJ_since1990

Wow! More stories? Sign me up. I wonder how many stories we will get. One might assume one per author but could be people working together on several projects.

Holy shit, this sounds f**king great. Brian Keene rules, I'm really looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table.

Edit-- just tweeted Brian Keene to see if he'd be down for a Q&A interview for AvPGalaxy after the anthology comes out.

Edit again-- Interview confirmed!

Quite a few of the authors are on social media so we could probably work out a big Q&A.


QuoteCalled "Deep Background," the story is about a reporter who is embedded with a group of Colonial Marines, and things do not go as planned.

Some details about Keith R.A. DeCandido's entry.

Nice, hoping for a good variety of stories set in all different periods. I wonder if one of these writers will be the lucky first to give us an Arcturian!

It's so cool that we're getting this. It's awesome that Titan has committed to the license like this.

Sorry, my mistake. Abnett is writing the Life and Death series, not Defiance. Memory slip there.

I'm hoping for a really varied anthology series that is more than just marines vs Aliens. I'd like to see them use this opportunity for more world building, something the latest Titan novels have been really good at.

Like the sound of this. As with others, I hope we get some stories about things other than Marines vs. Aliens.

Mr. Clemens

I'll be waiting for reviews on this one. Eighteen short stories about colonial marines getting ambushed and slaughtered by aliens sounds a tad repetitive (I know that's an assumption on my part, but they've said nothing to convince me otherwise).

That's why I'm hoping it'll branch out into other stuff they do. Like the Tech Manual did.
