Praise for "The Best of the Best": "Gardner Dozois' YEAR'S BEST
SCIENCE FICTION anthology, an annual volume of gigantic size and
awesome range, has after twenty years become a wondrous trove of
great stories and an archive that has immeasurable historical
significance. Now Dozois has selected the best of the best."
--Robert Silverberg
"If a science fiction fan from 1984 chanced to stumble into a time
warp and pop up in the here and now, and wanted to know what had
been happening in his favorite genre in the last twenty years, all
you'd need to do was hand him a copy of Gardner Dozois's "Best of
the Best," This is two decades of the best that science fiction has
to offer, chosen by the most respected editor in the field...a copy
belongs of the shelf of every SF reader." --George R.R. Martin,
bestselling author of "A Game Of Thrones"""
""The Best of the Best" collected all in one volume is beyond
terrific! It'll make nonreaders of science fiction realize why the
genre has so many devoted fans, and the readers of science fiction
hyperventilate. This is the cream of the cream of the crop! And all
in one place! I "cannot" wait to read it!" --Connie Willis,
multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author
"The title says it all. If you like science fiction, you need this
book! Gardner Dozois is the savviest editor alive, and his picks
are brilliant, thought-provoking, and immensely entertaining. Sell
your grandmother if you must, but buy this book!" --Michael
Swanwick, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Theodore
Sturgeon Awards "Dozois's "Best of the Year" volumes have had
consistently high literary quallity. I've used them as a primary
text for twenty years, teaching SF writing at MIT, and they always
give the students interesting examples of the huge variety of
stories that live under the SF tent." --Joe Haldeman, Hugo and
Nebula Award-winning author of "The Forever War"
