Do you know if the stories are the full novellas, or if they're just excerpts? It seems like a relatively short book to contain five full novellas, and though there's no indication on the Tor page or at the beginning of the ebook, at the very end it says "These are works of fiction. All of the characters, organizations, and events portrayed in these novella excerpts are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously."
The Tor page says it's 120 pages; the Amazon Kindle page says it's 79 pages.
okay, so math: - a 214-page novel I'm reading is 2967 locations, so 13.86 locs per page. - a 167K fic has 7478 location, which means 539 pages, or about 309 words per page. - if we take the Kindle 79 pages, that's about 25,000 words - if we take the Tor number, that's 37,080 words.
I thus conjecture that is novella excerpts; it is presented as a sampler rather than an anthology, after all.

Since it's free, I'll probably download it anyhow and see if any of the excerpts leave me hungry for more.
