Escape Vector by Bryan Young was an excellent series of sci-fi, space opera stories. I'm not the hugest space opera fan, but I've always loved Star Trek and Star Wars, so picking up this book was quite the treat. I hadn't been impressed by past books relating to space, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But, Bryan Young changed my view on Sci-Fi! This collection of stories was truly a delight! Each story was quite short, but brought the reader into a magnificent universe far away. All of the stories did not connect, but that wasn't a problem! Bryan Young did a great job in making each story separate, and fully intriguing. If anything, I would have liked all of the stories to connect somehow, but that is just a personal opinion. None of the stories seemed to long, or too short. Some of them I even wanted the story to continue and have more information on these intriguing characters and adventures. Overall, I enjoyed it! Since I'm typically not a fan of the space opera genre, this was a real treat! Three out of five stars! Great series of space stories! I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
