review 1: I won this book in a contest and recently had the chance to complete it. With short story collections I like to come and go, reading a story or two at a time. This collection provides some really great reads. War Hero was my favorite but there were many close seconds as well. This is my first time reading this collection, and I will have to go back now and look for previous editions! Well done.
review 2: As with any diverse collection of stories, there are some hits and misses along the way. For me, the stories that got me the most excited were Planetary Scouts and the Vestigial Girl. Scouts for it's fantastic world building (easy to wrap your mind around and allows your mind to conjure up the missing pieces), and Vestigial Girl for it's ability to make the... more protagonist sympathetic, distinct, and riveting in so short a time. The stories that didn't quite hit the mark for me were Dream Eater (more a genre issue than the writing) and the Sport of Writing (again, more of a conceptual issue and lack of interest than anything). Congratulations to all the authors who were chosen, overall very enjoyable. less
