I think I heard about this anthology from an issue of Lightspeed. There are some great stories in here. The overall theme is when a mission or task goes wrong and the stakes are raised to a matter of survival. Think of the Apollo 13 flight or the film "Gravity" for example - although not all the stories in this collection are set in space. There are fifteen short stories in all.
There's an impressive variety - different kinds of plots, settings, narrative structures and so on, but each story fits with the theme.
Naturally, suspense is a common element here, and a lot of the stories feel like thrillers.
I think this took me a while because while I enjoy thrillers/suspense every so often, I maybe don't have the appetite for lots of thrillers back to back.
