I'm new to Axiom world but I consider this book a good introduction.
Tim Pratt is a master storyteller, and the story are engrossing and entertaining.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The three novellas in Tim Pratt's The Alien Stars concern the Axiom Universe. I am not familiar with Mr. Pratt's work but based on this sampling it now tops my space operas to read list. There is an obvious amount of work on world building. The characters are fully developed and there's plenty of action. Mr. Pratt has a lot of work out there so it will be fun catching up.
