The Sword and Laser discussion

I found this collection of six short stories by first-time author Matthew Mather on the Amazon Kindle store about a week ago. I'd never bought self-published fiction before but the low-price and the glowing reviews convinced me to take a chance. I've read 5 of the 6 stories, but the last one is more of a novella. Love it so far and can't wait to see how it all turns out. Look forward to reading your opinions!
