Review
“With stories that run the gamut from alternate history to strange admixtures of SF and fantasy to bizarrely inexplicable worlds, and with authors ranging from big names to first-timers, Hugo-winner Dozois shows off the dazzling range of the genre in his annual compendium…. This hefty tome has enough content for a summer of reading, and the range of stories indicates that SF still doesn't know the meaning of the word ‘boundaries.”—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
