Reviews

[Judy · Rating 3 out of 5]

There were some creative short stories in this volume but overall it was not very memorable.

[Benjamin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Those brave enough to venture through it's pages will discover that, like a low-priced buffet, a variety of dishes they don't like, several they won't remember once they walk out the doors, a select few they quite enjoyed, and finally, they will never return for seconds. Notable contributions include: "The Ashes Of New Orleans" by Tony Daniel, "Multiples", by Robert Silverberg, "Goo Fish", by Robert Reed, and, "Another Country". Best of the collection goes to, "Nevermore" by Ian R. MacLeod, who paints a story of life and death in a world where such terms only communicate shades of gray.
