Dozois, Gardner R. The Year's Best Science Fiction Eleventh Annual Collection
St Martins Pr 1994 0312111045 / 9780312111045 First Trade Edition Card Covers Near Fine
Unread, No Spine Creasing, No Remainder Mark. ; Front bottom corner laminate beginning to roll, else fine. (bookcase wear) ; 1.4 x 8.2 x 5.8 Inches; 689 pages; Dozois's ( Geodesic Dreams ) smorgasbord of 23 short stories and novellas has something to satisfy almost every taste. Intriguing characters, creative settings and a certain amount of consciousness-raising are evident in many selections. Cultures clash when an alien settles in Appalachia to try his hand at moonshining in Rebecca Ore's "Alien Bootlegger." In "Dancing on Air," Nancy Kress casts a jaundiced eye at the glamorous world of the performing arts, where "bioenhanced" ballet dancers risk more than their careers for a competitive edge. Classic space exploration is vividly portrayed in G. David Nordley's "Into the Miranda Rift," about scientists stranded on a moon of Uranus. In a lighter vein, Pat Cadigan's "Love Toys of the Gods," takes a humorous look at tabloid healines to expose what really happens to humans lucky enough to be beamed aboard those pesky UFOs. Each story is preceded by a short introduction of the author and his or her work. Add to that an honorable-mention list, and readers have a useful jumping-off point should they wish to continue their explorations of an expanding literary universe.

Dozois, Gardner The Year's Best Science Fiction Fifteenth Annual Collection
St. Martin's Griffin 1998 0312190336 / 9780312190330 First American Edition; First Printing Card Covers Near Fine
Unread. No Spine Creasing. Full Numberline (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) No Remainder Mark. ; Indent on front cover, else fine. ; 1.81 x 9.19 x 6.09 Inches; 624 pages; There's little doubt that Dozois (Dying for It) is to the 1980s and 1990s what John W. Campbell Jr. , was to the 1940s and 1950sAthe finest editor in the world of short SF. Asimov's, which he edits, routinely earns half or more of the short-fiction nominations for the Hugo and Nebula awards each year, and his anthologies are equally strong. This collection features nine clearly deserving stories from Asimov's, plus 19 other excellent pieces from the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Analog, Science Fiction Age, Interzone and a variety of original anthologies and less well-known magazines. The stories range widely in type, from the highly literate work of John Kessel and James Patrick Kelly to the hard SF of G. David Nordley and Geoffrey A. Landis; from the alternate history of William Sanders and Howard Waldrop to the upscale space opera of Walter Jon Williams and Robert Reed. Among the best-known writers represented are Robert Silverberg, Nancy Kress and Gregory Benford. Of particular interest is the large number of non-American writers. Brits Paul J. McAuley, Stephen Baxter, Peter F. Hamilton, Gwyneth Jones, Ian McDonald and Brian Stableford, along with the hot Australian writer Greg Egan (represented by two stories) , contribute nearly half the volume. Also included are Dozois's usual summation of the year in SF and his valuable list of honorable mentions. This anthology represents contemporary SF at its very best. (June) FYI: Dozois is a nine-time winner of the Hugo Award for best editor. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Beauty in the Night by Robert Silverberg, Second Skin by Paul J.

Dozois, Gardner R. The Year's Best Science Fiction Ninth Annual Collection
St Martins Pr 1992 0312078897 / 9780312078898 Book Club Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
No Remainder Mark. ; Book: Extremely slight bump to top front corner, else fine. Dustjacket : Extremely slight bump to top front corner, else fine. ; 1.75 x 9.75 x 6.5 Inches; While generally sound, this collection is badly in need of a trimming. It is hard to see, for example, why Dozois thought to include Geoffrey A. Landis's uninspired throwback to the time when manned lunar landings were still the stuff of science fiction. And Dozois's breathless introductions to these 28 stories are annoying distractions. Still, there is more than enough material here with real merit. Outstanding are Nancy Kress's story about children genetically altered to require no sleep and Connie Willis's chillingly restrained tale of an ancient evil haunting the rubble-strewn streets of World War II London. Gregory Benford finds a new world at the intersection of particle physics and Eastern mysticism. Unsurprisingly, computers appear frequently in these pages but, in what may be a telling example of the late Isaac Asimov's benign influence, they pose no threat to humans--none, that is, beyond their ability to capture our sympathy, as they do in Chris Beckett's tale of an Italian macchina , or robot, and our love, as illustrated by Mark L. Van Name and Pat Murphy's customized Home Information and Appliance Network. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Dozois, Gardner R. The Year's Best Science Fiction Third Annual Collection
Bluejay Books Inc. April 1986 031294487X / 9780312944872 First American Edition; First Printing Card Covers Near Fine
States "First Bluejay Printing: April 1986" Blean with strong intact binding and unblemished covers. Rare for a first printing to be in such shape. ; Book: Spine creases and bumps to top & bottom of spine, else fine. ; 1.7 x 8.9 x 5.9 Inches; Dozois's third Bluejay annual (1986, for 1985 work) follows the same format as his second. You can read no other sf-related book in a given year and still have a very good idea of what is happening in the current sf scene. Dozois believes that short fiction is the heart of the genre; it takes as much originality to execute an effective story as it does a genre novel, which generally spins out an equivalent concept at greater length. Moreover, the concentation of the short form forces writers into a concise presentation of their material. In an age of elephantine media-based novel series, that's a pleasure. This anthology picks up 24 stories, several of them long. I most liked Karen Joy Fowler's "The Lake Was Full of Artificial Things," a haunting meditation on Vietnam in which a woman interacts with a virtual version of a man she knew who died in the war. Another very good story included here, which won an award, is Frederik Pohl's "Fermi and Frost," a less satiric than usual portrait of surviving beyond armageddon. Additional stories I liked here include Robert Silverberg's long "Sailing to Byzantium," another award-winner in which Byzantium turns out not what it seems to be; Kim Stanley Robinson's "Green Mars," which became the basis for his Mars trilogy; S. C. Sykes's "Rockabye Baby," a moving story about a severely injured man who enters an experimental program to regenerate his body; and Lucius Shepard's "A Spanish Lesson," a picaresque mood piece about an expatriate American in Europe who finally confronts his own shallowness. Two other award winners reprinted are Nancy Springer's "Out of All Them Bright Stars" and James Blaylock's "Paper Dragons." One of the tensions in genre fiction of this period was the conflict between the cyberpunkers and the rest of the writers. Robinson was accused of being a fuddy-duddy for not joining the punker bandwagon. I think he had the last laugh. Works Included: The Jaguar Hunter by Lucius Shepard, Dogfight by Michael Swanwick and William Gibson, Fermi and Frost by Frederik Pohl, Green Days in Brunei by Bruce Sterling, Snow by John Crowley, The Fringe by Orson Scott Card, The Lake Was Full Of Artificial Things by Karen Joy Fowler, Sailing to Byzantium by Robert Silverberg, Solstice by James Patrick Kelly Duke, Pasquale's Ring by Avram Davidson, More Than The Sum Of His Parts by Joe Haldeman, Out Of All Them Bright Stars by Nancy Kress, Side Effects by Walter Jon Williams, The Only Neat Thing To Do by James Tiptree Jr. , Dinner in Audoghast by Bruce Sterling, Under Siege by George R R Martin, Flying Saucer Rock & Roll by Howard Waldrop, A Spanish Lesson by Lucius Shepard, Roadside Rescue by Pat Cadigan, Paper Dragons by James P. Blaylock, Magazine Section by R. A. Lafferty, The War at Home by Lewis Shiner, Rockabye Baby by S. C. Sykes, Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. 108

Dozois, Gardner The Year's Best Science Fiction Twenty-First Annual Collection
St. Martin's Press 2004 0312324782 / 9780312324780 Book Club Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
No Remainder Mark. ; Book: Slight bump to bottom front corner, else fine. Dustjacket : Slight bump to bottom front corner, else fine. ; 2.1 x 9.4 x 5.9 Inches; 704 pages; With stories that run the gamut from alternate history to strange admixtures of SF and fantasy to bizarrely inexplicable worlds, and with authors ranging from big names to first-timers, Hugo-winner Dozois shows off the dazzling range of the genre in his annual compendium. Several authors deal with the loneliness of humans in the galaxy. In William Barton's "Off on a Starship," young Wally accidentally leaves Earth on an automated spaceship, only to discover that there are no other people out there—and when he finally comes home, it's not as a boy but as a god. Walter Jon Williams's bittersweet "The Green Leopard Plague" explores the economic and social consequences of conquering world hunger. Geoff Ryman's timely "Birth Days" follows a gay researcher as he finds a way to "cure" homosexuality, with unexpected results. Other standout stories include Kage Baker's rollicking "Welcome to Olympus, Mr. Hearst," where the Company takes on Hearst, and loses; and Michael Swanwick's fantastic "King Dragon," where the dragon's lackey strikes back. This hefty tome has enough content for a summer of reading, and the range of stories indicates that SF still doesn't know the meaning of the word "boundaries." Copyright © Reed Business Information. Works included: Off on a Starship by William Barton, It's All True by John Kessel, Rogue Farm by Charles Stross, The Ice by Steven Popkes, EJbyES by Nancy Kress, The Bellman by John Varley, The Bear's Baby by Judith Moffett, Calling Your Name by Howard Waldrop, June Sixteenth at Anna's by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, The Green Leopard Plague by Walter Jon Williams, The Fluted Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi, Dead Worlds by Jack Skillingstead, King Dragon by Michael Swanwick, Singletons in Love by Paul Melko, Anomalous Structures of My Dreams by M.

Dozois, Gardner The Year's Best Science Fiction, Thirteenth Annual Collection
St. Martin's Griffin 1996 0312144520 / 9780312144524 First American Edition; First Printing Card Covers Near Fine
Full Numberline (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) No Remainder Mark. ; Slight spine creases, else fine. ; 1.73 x 9.13 x 6.06 Inches; 592 pages; Once again, Dozois serves up a pleasurable mix of established luminaries as well as the newer stars of the SF realm. In Dan Simmons's "Looking for Kelly Dahl," an elementary school teacher journeys from despair to love with a former student who has the ability to teleport to parallel earths where dinosaurs never fell, no one else exists or the 1970s never ended. Maureen McHugh also offers a tale of redemption in an alternate Civil War era, but this time, the underground railroad rescues white former slave owners who have relocated by the thousands to die of exposure on the frontier. In the tradition of the best SF, Geoff Ryman explores homelessness in a credibly violent future where beggars are routinely crucified by hungry mobs. Fans will especially appreciate Dozois's introduction of talented young writers who have yet to publish their own collections or novels. Notable among these is David Murasek, whose novella, "We Were Out of Our Minds with Joy," imagines the couple of the next century almost having it all? That is, until they are issued a permit to have a child. But the truth is that all of the 24 short stories or novellas are rewarding, which is really the most outstanding feature of this collection.
