"Must read anthology for sci-fi fans"
The twentieth edition of what annually is one of the best
anthologies is a strong collection of short stories that
showcases the top tales of the year. The contributions
come mostly from United States, Great Britain, and
Australia and run the gamut of the genre. As usual Gardner
Dozois provides a superb introduction that gives the
perspective and condition of the genre. This time though
much of the critical world claim the genre is dead, no
earth-shattering innovation occurred, and magazines have
suffered losses, Mr. Dozois shows that SF remains a viable
powerful entity. Each tale is well written as expected
from an anthology packaged by the award winning Mr. Dozois
who leaves no stone (magazine or book?) unturned in his
quest to provide THE YEAR'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION at least
the shorts. Harriet Klausner
