  • More hits than misses.

    Some great stories here, a few that couldn't be expanded into a novel but worked beautifully as shorts and a few that open the door to a whole other world. Definitely a few authors here I'll be looking up. Only one clanger really, didn't finish the Brin story, no surprise there.
