3.5 out of 5¤ 2) Hardcover Book The Year's Best Science Fiction: Sixth Annual Collection by Bluejay. Dozois is, and has long been, one of the best editors and anthologizers in all of SF. The anthology ranges over the many different sub-genres of Science Fiction, and I therefore cannot say I enjoyed all of his stories; nevertheless, all were well-written, and some of the stories were among the best I´ve ever read. I strongly recommend this and any other of Dozois´ "Year´s Best..." series.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 2-Dec-2008, 03120300889780312030087, 410-880-260-190-3X0-450-8 |
