One of the things I love most about anthologies is that it introduces me to authors otherwise I'd have never read. This collection allowed me to read wonderful stories by authors now I'm eager to read more.

A mixed bag of short, sci-fi-ish stories. Many stray into fantasy more than sci-fi. The titular story was the best.
