"There is not a story in the bunch that is not engaging to the
reader.... This year's showcase seems to have an underlying theme
about communication and responsibility. Whether this was
intentional or not, the message is a pertinent one, and this year's
selections are enjoyable and meaningful. This is an excellent book
for lovers of science fiction."
