Praise for previous volumes of The Year's Best Science Fiction:

"Intelligent, wide-ranging (several of the stories here have not previously been published in the United States) and unfailingly literate, Dozois's volume is exemplary. . . . Anyone interested in contemporary short SF should own this volume" --Gregory Feeley, Washington Post Book World

"All of the stories in the collection are thought-provoking and well-written, succeeding on their own as stories quite apart from the genre label." --Kathryn Lance, Arizona Daily Star

"This anthology represents contemporary SF at its very best. . . . There's little doubt that Dozois is to the 1980s and 1990s what John W. Campbell Jr., was to the 1940s and 1950s--the finest editor in the world of short SF." --Publishers Weekly

"For anyone interested in SF short stories, this is the best---indeed, the only--place to start." --Kirkus Reviews
