Here are four stories, derived from the Universe of the Koban series. These are tales involving the Kobani people and Koban. Reading the series is NOT required to understand and enjoy these stand-alone tales.
Australian Krall (Novelette)
A fully gene enhanced Kobani woman finds herself trapped in total darkness and underground, pursued by hundreds of slavering, semi-sentient, maniacally aggressive and hungry aliens. Let’s take a walk on the dark side!
Bats of a Leather Flock Together (Short story)
The wolfbat Flock Leader takes his colony to an unexplored Koban continent to set up a nest in virgin territory. The wily leader uses his cooperative experience with humans to forge similar alliances with other native creatures. Not everyone wants to play nice.
Kobani Kiddie Capers (Novella)
How do Kobani parents cope with children that are born with the contact telepathy gene, and have eidetic memory? Adults who think teenagers act like they know everything never had an overconfident four-year old super child, with a ripper cub as his partner in crime. Living to reach his teens seems doubtful.
The Smuggler and the Crime Lord (Novelette)
When you land a known smuggler’s ship in a ruthless Crime Lord’s city using false registry, it’s hard to convince a platoon of armed thugs that you’re only shopping, that you don’t owe the boss his cut of your take. If the Kobani captain is buying drinks for friends in a spaceport bar, spoiling his evening and making threats is ill advised, and could prove fatal.
Koban Universe 1 eBook Stephen W Bennett
The first and last stories are the best. Despite what people say about this being a short few stories to make money, the stories are worth it. They are a good addition to the series.There is a lot of action in the first and last story. Short stories are good but when the action gets going it's over pretty quickly.
The second story was so-so. I got used to it after a while, though I wasn't terribly interested in the plot of wolfbats seeking alliances.
The third story wasn't very interesting. I was not interested in the views of young Kobani children.
The last story was good but I didn't like how the Islamic smugglers were described as decapitating people and not trading with people outside their faiths, though there were also Australian smugglers. The topic of religion is very sensitive and I didn't like how there is no positive portrayal of religion, only negative portrayal.

Koban Universe 1 eBook Stephen W Bennett Reviews
Added nothing to the universe. Simplistic stand-alone stories. To be honest I am getting tired of these short, add on novels that just feel like money grabs by the authors.
The four short stories were great! I will admit that I personally enjoyed the last story the most, largely because the Kobani's interactions with the rest of humanity have so much potential for greatness.
I think part of the appeal is something similar to reading a superhero book. "I've got a secret" eventually leading to a dramatic reveal. Great stuff!
i normally hate short stories but I love the idea of the koban universe and have raptly awaited further expansions on the scenario like the silo series, I had hope Stephen w Bennett would garner such success and it looks like he has taken the first step. I would to love to see further stories from different perspectives as well as a continuation of Stephen's own vision. as an aspiring writer I wish the best for the koban universe. cheers for a good read
While I generally tend to avoid short stories I found these quite entertaining and fitting.
The worst nightmare I could ever imagine is contained within; A young child with 100% Kobani enhancements, and 00% of the forethought and maturity. Just wait until the 'standard' teen rebellious phase kicks in... the world may end! LOL!
My only issue is a minor one, 'New Australia' is both a continent on Koban, AND a separate world? While quite likely to happen across a broad empire, it still seemed as an unnecessary complexity.
For fans of the Koban series these stories are a joy. We expand on concepts introduced in the series.
My enjoyment grew with each succeeding story with the last being my favorite and the third being my next favorite. I am trying not to let too much out to spoil the fun and am probably not helping at all in encouraging others to read this book.
For those who have not read the Koban series, you could read the stories stand alone but you would miss at least half the fun and understanding of what is going on. I STRONGLY encourage fans of space opera to read the three books Koban, Mark of Koban, Rise of the Kobani first, you will not be disappointed.
I chose this rating because I am a huge fan of the Koban series. It is not just that this has wet my appetite for the coming novel, but I just love Stephen's books and the way he just captures your imagination. I have read and 're'read the previous books in the series and am waiting quite impatiently (yes stephen that is aimed at you. Please hurry up..........) for the next coming novel.
This collection of short stories is a nice little add on to the brilliant series, using a very interesting mix of new and old character's and a very interesting and unique perspective. Before reading these short stories, to put them in perspective you will need to read the previous books! NOT that will be disappointed!! Read them and make up your own mind!!!!
Enjoy!!! I did!
Koban Universe 1 is a collection of short stories set in the Koban universe that is a delight. For those who are fans of the series, these four stories expand our enjoyment with short episodes not suitable for the main books, of which there are three at this time. I particularly liked the last story with a familiar character, despite a slight plot timing issue with the improved Jump drive of the smuggling ship (it was only known to humans after they captured a Krall singleship).
Because a lot of back history was introduced, the writing was slightly stilted near the beginning of each story. But I enjoyed this "extra" treat while waiting for the next book in the series. You will enjoy the series and this universe too!
The first and last stories are the best. Despite what people say about this being a short few stories to make money, the stories are worth it. They are a good addition to the series.
There is a lot of action in the first and last story. Short stories are good but when the action gets going it's over pretty quickly.
