Not worth the time

This is a collection of mostly vapid and unimaginative stories, many with typographical and grammatical errors, showing it was not adequately proofed, let alone juried. A couple of the stories merit only slight attention. I read through the collection, trying to find anything to pique my interest. All I discovered was that it was a waste of time.

There are many great short stories in this volume.
I enjoyed reading them and because it was an anthology they were short reads and I could put the book down for a week or more and start a new story each time I picked it up.

Short stories

Very enjoyable some the best short stories that I have read in a long time. Actually can't wait until next years SciFi Anthology comes out.

[David Grierson]

Not my favourite SF anthology. Some of the stories just didn't grab my attention. Quite a few started well but peetered out or finshed abruptly. I assumed the authors had a word count they should not exceed but towards the end there were some quite lengthy stories.

As with any anthology there are the good and a few that shouldn't have made the cut. However (IMHO), none were excellent, just one or two very good.

Disappointing for me but I appreciate the number of authors that were able to get their work published.

A couple good stories, a lot of meh

While there were two or three worthwhile stories, most of them were lifeless. All of the usual tropes of SF are covered - space exploration/colonization, time travel, nanotech - but not much in the way of new takes. In a way, it was like some of the collections I remember from the 60s and 70s - similar themes, similar twist endings - but without the sense of wonder.

[Michael Clarke]

A tad biased, as I wrote a story included in this collection. However there are are several different writers included here . The diverse collection of scifi voices covers a wide spectrum of subgenres.

Interesting mix. Nothing mind-blowing
