What compels people to do what they do? What are the driving forces that so utterly determine how they live their lives? Take faith, for instance. A person's unwavering belief in something can be so strong that it fully determines the nature of their outlook on the universe. It can be a vehicle for benevolent acts, or a weapon to drive people to fanatical levels of brutality. Or maybe love is responsible for the actions people take. Love of a significant other, a group, an idea, or even love of the self. How about revenge, prejudice, or the desire to embrace individualism?

Whatever driving force an individual or group may choose to deem the most essential, at some point its repetition and the emphasis of its paramount importance transforms it into what can safely be referred to as a value. This anthology explores the aforementioned values, and others, in five independent stories, with the common thread of examining how people will adhere to their personal beliefs while in pivotal situations. Whether they be on an alien planet not all that dissimilar to Earth, under a dome on some unhospitable barren rock, or on a generational spaceship on a course to a new world, this collection of science fiction stories will demonstrate how the driving forces in people's lives shape the very fabric of their existence.

Also, these stories will beg the question: Are the values in these alien settings so very different than the ones we hold dear on our own planet?

Or, are some values perhaps...universal?

    Another great read from this amazing author.
    Really enjoyed The Warlords Last Meal. Didn’t see the ending coming.
    Bryon Mayfield never disappoints.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2023
    To date I have liked all of Bryon Mayfield's short story collections, but this one has been my favorite! There wasn't a single story in here that I didn't absolutely love! The characters in these stories were so relatable and it was impossible not to connect with them and feel their emotions and touch their lives. From Cyrel in 'Faithless' to Aodhan in 'In Between' and everyone literally in between, they just stood out in my imagination. The writing is beautiful prose and such a joy to read. I don't read science fiction a lot because I find it difficult to capture the mental images as well as in other genres, but all of these stories gave me a beautifully fleshed out mental movie and they all captured my heart with these absolutely perfect characters. Bravo!
