"The 38 stories in this culling of the last 15 annual anthologies
edited by the late Dozois testify to the breathtaking scope of
science fiction and the diversity and talent of its
writers....Dozois was one of the great editors of science fiction
over the last 50 years, and this book features some of the best
science fiction written in the 21st century." --Publishers Weekly
(starred review)"Another illuminating look into some of the best
current sf from the last decade and more, offering a glorious range
of characters, plots, and themes as well as forgotten fiction from
sf's favorite authors." --Library Journal (starred review)"This
selection from the annual anthology series pays tribute to the late
Dozois' brilliant editorial skills....This
anthology is highly recommended for anyone interested in all of the
rich and varied possibilities sf as a
genre has to offer." --Booklist (starred review)"The final capstone
to a highly distinguished career...a testament to a lifelong love
and dedication to short fiction." --Kirkus Reviews"Gardner Dozois's
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 on the shelf of every SF
reader." --George R. R. Martin, bestselling author of A Game of
Thrones"The short story is the heart of science fiction, and editor
Gardner Dozois understands more about the short story and about
science fiction than anybody else, which is what's made this series
so terrific! But now, to have Gardner's picks for 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, winner of many Hugo and
Nebula awards"For more than a quarter century, Gardner Dozois's
TheYear's Best Science Fiction has defined the field. It is the
most important anthology, not only annually but overall." --Charles
N. Brown, publisher of Locus Magazine"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 quality. 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"There is no one better
qualified to edit this book. If Gardner Dozois says these are the
best of the best, you can bet the farm on it. The best and most
honored editor of the past twenty years selects the best and most
honored stories of the past twenty years. It's a natural." --Mike
Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Santiago
