Sixty stories total from each author, with ten stories from Rusch and ten from Smith in every volume. Volume 1 kicks off the series with the theme "Cities."

The answers Captain Jonathon "Coop" Cooper and the crew of the Ivoire seek lie in the Boneyards. But they must wait for Boss and her team to dive it, explore the wrecks, and piece together what happened in that faraway place. Boss loves the challenge. Thousands of ships, centuries of history, all play to her strengths. In her absence, she trusts Coop to defend the Nine Planets Alliance against the Enterran Empire. But an encounter from Coop's recent past shows up to haunt him, an encounter he never told Boss about, an encounter that could threaten her future, his life, and the fragile peace between the Alliance and the Empire. A combination of first-person and third-person narrative and flashback segments makes this a complex and compelling story. It's like having three tales in one, with an added peek into the bad guys' activities, all of them intriguing, classic science fiction. It leaves the reader eager to explore this universe again and see what will happen next with these characters.-RT Book ReviewsThe Diving Universe, conceived buy Hugo-Award winning author Kristine [Kathryn] Rusch is a refreshingly new and fleshed out realm of sci-fi action and adventure.

Skin Deep

When Dylan's wife, Geneva, dies, Dylan refuses to believe it. Not because he believes in ghosts, but because he believes in science. Geneva, a physicist, believed humans could overcome the perception of linear time. If her theories hold true, Dylan can change his perceptions and Geneva will live again. He has nothing to lose, and Geneva to gain."Rusch writes humanist SF. Her lead characters (most notably the wife/brilliant physicist in "Without End") exhibit lively intellects spurred on by keen imaginations, and are capable of both compassion and love. Such complex natures can lead to emotional suffering, but also to Rusch's special version of the "happy ending"-a transcendence of grief, guilt, sometimes even mortality."-Locus
