Description

The first novella collection set in the world of Pratt's popular Axiom space opera trilogy.

In this collection of previously unpublished novellas, Hugo Award-winner Tim Pratt returns to the acclaimed sci-fi universe of his Axiom trilogy.

Each of these three stories takes fans and new readers alike deeper into the rich world of the Axiom than ever before, revisiting the crewmembers of the White Raven as they strike out on new and enthralling adventures.

Delilah Mears joins the crew of the Golden Spider, as its cyborg captain Ashok leads them deep into space to investigate a mysterious cosmic anomaly, leading to an encounter with a truly unusual band of space pirates; AI (and Trans-Neptunian Alliance President) Shall receives a strange summons from a past version of himself to help defeat an existential threat to the entire universe; And intrepid alien truth-teller Lantern journeys home to confront the monsters of her past, and the deepest secrets of her heart (or the closest thing she has in her circulatory system to a heart).

Advance Praise

Praise for the Axiom trilogy

"The Axiom... was precisely the kind of space opera romp guaranteed to delight me. Fast-paced, and with a rag-tag crew of heroes and a selection of batshit weird dangers, it drove an appealing course through a galaxy not so very far away."

– Locus


"The engaging, inclusive, and entertaining Axiom series, may be his best work yet... witty, heartfelt sci-fi."

– Tor.com


"Expansive world building, great movement coupled with interesting characterisation and a story line that is not only intriguing but brings back the grand spacefaring odyssey."

– Koeur's Book Reviews

Featured Reviews

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.

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.
