robert reed’s “good mountain” is one of the greatest novellas i’ve ever read. it’s a far-future road trip story heavy on enwonderment and melancholy. bittersweet brilliance!

in my opinion, baen books publishes the best themed anthologies in all of SF publishing. hank davis’ encyclopedic knowledge of SF short fiction is unparalleled. great review by paul di filippo, per usual.

a reminder: eight brian hodge works — five novels, three short story collections — are available as DRM-free e-books through the online e-book retailer smashwords. hodge is an unsung master of horror and dark fiction, and slings some of the lushest prose you will find this side of hell.

THE GODEL OPERATION is a far-future phantasmagoric joyride through our solar system that thrills and delights. james l. cambias’ “enwonderment”-inducing billion worlds is now one of my favorite science fictional universes.

great characterization and dashes of horror, humor, and history make this not-a-wasted-word piece one of the strongest in the anthology. mamatas writes damned good short SF.

one of my favorite SF short story collections is sean mcmullen’s COLOURS OF THE SOUL. (which is available as a DRM-free e-book from reanimus press!) “the precedent,” “the engines of arcadia,” and “enigma” are all excellent stories contained therein.
