"In his second decade of editing what is widely regarded as the foremost best-of-the-year science fiction anthology, Dozois shows no sign of skimping on either scope or quality. . . . Completed by Dozols's introduction and lucid commentaries, the collection offers a veritable feast of thoughtful and entertaining speculative fiction that no library
should be without."
