"This smorgasbord of thought-provoking fiction ensures that any reader will likely find something appealing." --Publishers Weekly "Gardner Dozois's long-running best of series is rightly a favorite...The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Seventh Annual Collection, for all its bulk, is charmingly eclectic...Mr. Dozois picks fiction that deserves to be better known to a wide audience." --The Wall Street Journal "This is a worthy addition to a venerable series." --Publishers Weekly on The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-sixth Annual Collection "For more than a quarter century, Gardner Dozois's The Year's Best Science Fiction has defined the field. It is the most important anthology, not only annually, but overall." --Charles N. Brown, publisher of Locus Magazine on The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-sixth Annual Collection
This venerable annual series continues in its usual mode, emphasizing print magazines and anthologies and highlighting such established authors as Alastair Reynolds, Michael Swanwick, and Robert Reed (who actually has two stories in the anthology). However, relative newcomers like Yoon Ha Lee and Hannu Rajaniemi inject fresh blood, and more stories are drawn from online venues than in previous years. Carrie Vaughn's "Amaryllis" quietly imbues a semidystopian future with optimism, while Allen M. Steele's "The Emperor of Mars" explores one man's attempt to stay sane in the face of devastating news. "Sleeping Dogs" by Joe Haldeman is a cynical look at postwar trauma and government manipulation. Rachel Swirsky's multigenerational "Again and Again and Again" shows that some things never change. This series remains an excellent resource for those who can't keep up with the field's increasing annual output. (July) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
