Kosmatka's "Prophet of Flores" posits a world in which scientists all agree that the world is 5,800 years old. The main character is a genetic "sampler" on a dig in Indonesia where questionable bones have been discovered. Provocative story with a thriller feel. Has anyone read the related novel Prophet of Bones?

I really like Gregory's exploration of consciousness in "Second Person, Present Tense."

A couple of savant stories in a row. I liked the subtle romance in Brenda Cooper's story.

I found Karl Schroeder's "To Hie from Far Cilenia" really engaging. Tracking stolen plutonium through alternate reality games peopled with cyranoids.

I struggled to get into ""Finisterra" and decided to skip it for now. A pleasure to reread “Evil Robot Monkey” by Mary Robinette Kowal. “The Education Of Junior Number 12″ by Madeline Ashby was brutal.

I’m enjoying reading so many past Hugo winners, such as “Tideline” by Elizabeth Bear. I was worried this one would crush me, as abandoned creatures are one of my weaknesses, but Bear creates an emotionally compelling story that's not mawkish.

"One of our Bastards is Missing" - Apparently part of a series of parallel-world stories by Cornell in which the "great game" of European espionage continues into space. Really neat.

"Tk'Tk'Tk" by David D. Levine. Hugo-winning story about a seriously down on his luck salesman on an alien world. Very nicely done.
