"Oddments" by Marko Kloos
    https://www.amazon.com/Oddments-Marko-Kloos/dp/B0C2S4MYF4

A standalone book of science fiction and fantasy short stories.  Some of 
the stories are connected to the author's Frontlines series of books.  I 
read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade 
paperback published by Cryogenica, LLC in 2023 that I bought from Amazon 
in 2026.

Two of the thirteen stories, "On the Use of Shape-Shifters in Warfare" 
and "Lucky Thirteen", were made into videos in the "Love Death + Robots" 
tv series on Netflix.

I really enjoyed all of the short stories, especially the two 
aforementioned short stories.  The concept that an inanimate object 
could grow a loyalty to its owner is quite unique in this circumstance. 
I generally prefer novels but made an exception in this case due to the 
fact that I have read so many of the author's excellent books.

My rating:  5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating:  4.6 out of 5 stars (272 reviews)
