The Tales from the Starship anthologies mark a notable shift in Bobby Adair’s recent output, moving from the earthbound survival scenarios that defined most of his career into space-based science fiction. The anthology format lets different stories explore different aspects of life and conflict aboard starships without committing to the continuous narrative of a traditional series. Discovery launched the project in 2024, followed quickly by Atlantis and a second volume in 2025.
For readers who followed Adair through his zombie and post-apocalyptic work, the starship anthologies represent a version of the author operating in a different register entirely. The transition from survival horror to space fiction is not unprecedented in his catalog given the Freedom’s Fire series, but the anthology structure here is something new. They are good reading for science fiction fans open to collections and short-form storytelling.
