Reviews
"There is not a story in the bunch that is not engaging to the reader.... This year's showcase seems to have an underlying theme about communication and responsibility. Whether this was intentional or not, the message is a pertinent one, and this year's selections are enjoyable and meaningful. This is an excellent book for lovers of science fiction."
