Year's Best 10

Year's Best SF 10 (Eos Books, ISBN 0-06-057561-1). Edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer.

Well, I'll admit that I've acquired a large pile of "best of" anthologies and haven't gotten around to reading them. Thanks to the incentive provided by the fine folks at SF Signal, I'm hopeful to get through several of these this reading year.

The introduction, again, isn't as detailed as the exhaustive one provided in the Dozois anthologies. The editors are more positive on the market in this introduction than the one provided in the eleventh installment in the series. No political commentary, thank you, but also a lack of detail on anything else that might have an effect on the world of science fiction.

Made up of: Introduction (David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer); Sergeant Chip (Bradley Denton); First Commandment (Gregory Benford); Burning Day (Glenn Grant); Scout's Honor (Terry Bisson); Venus Flowers at Night (Pamela Sargent); Pulp Cover (Gene Wolfe); The Algorithms for Love (Ken Liu); Glinky (Ray Vukcevich); Red City (Janeen Webb); Act of God (Jack McDevitt); Wealth (Robert Reed); Mastermindless (Matthew Hughes); Time, as It Evaporates... (Jean-Claude Dunyach); The Battle of York (James Stoddard); Loosestrife (Liz Williams); The Dark Side of Town (James Patrick Kelly); Invisible Kingdoms (Steven Utley); The Cascade (Sean McMullen); Pervert (Charles Coleman Finlay); The Risk-Taking Gene as Expressed by Some Asian Subjects (Stee Tomasula); Strood (Neal Asher); The Eckener Alternative (James L. Cambias); Savant Songs (Brenda Cooper).
