Turns out.. i like the occasional Mech story.. not a whole book of them. The continuous war theme really dragged on me.
When I was a kid, we had a game called “Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots”. There was a red robot and a blue robot in a boxing ring, you controlled the arms with a couple of yellow buttons. The object was to knock your opponents block off. Why am I telling you this? Well flash forward around forty or so years, and my block was knocked off by Mechs: Age of Steel!If you are a fan of the following franchises: PACIFIC RIM, ROBOTECH, GUNDAM, EVAGELION, BATTLETECH, or if you fell in love with the AT-ST in Star...
Quite the interesting takes on stories in one of my favorite sci-fi subgenres. Great way to find more works I would enjoy by looking for new authors!

Still working my way though the second half of it, but I've got the gist of what this collection offers. I was wondering, in my own writing, how to translate the visual language of Super Fightin' Robots into prose. MECH shows you that there's no one way to go about it, and there's not really a clean way, either. The more memorable stories use supernatural or down-to-earth storytelling ('The Cold and The Dark' and 'The Tempered Steel of Antiquity Gray' are my favorites for this reason), while the...
Great stories. I am baffled by the random short previews in the middle. Either include the whole story or don't. Or if you insist on putting previews in, put them at the back. Other than that, worth reading.
