Martian Walker and Other Stories
This book is a collection of four science fiction stories, set in different universes but with a common theme throughout; specifically, the fact that teamwork gets a lot more done than trying to go it alone. The first story, Martian Walker, is a relatively hard sci-fi look at a transhuman teenage girl on Mars and what happens when her world is shattered. Secondly, we have Bug Eyes, the story of a hapless tourist and amateur photographer who's caught up in a civil war on an alien planet, and his interactions with the bug-like locals. The third story, Hammer and Anvil, is from the point of view of a crewmember on an alien patrol vessel that encounters Earth and humanity in the course of its duties, and how he's part of the effort to save it when a looming menace is set to attack. And finally, Beware the Anger of a Quiet Man features Dallas, a taciturn sergeant and how it's a very bad idea to take away the person he loves.
I had fun writing them all, and I hope you enjoy reading them.
