"Once again, Dozois delivers an exemplary volume of exemplary SF." --Publishers Weekly
"The book that has to be read every year...it's silly to pick favorites among so many good stories." --Fred Cleaver, The Denver Post
"This series has become an institution, and deservedly so." --Clinton Lawrence, Science Fiction Weekly
"I can't open the copy on my desk without wanting to reread whichever story pops up. Transport your physical self to a bookstore. Heft the volume. At list price, it's still the best value for top-notch SF, by the page of by the pound." --Jim Hopper, San Diego Union-Tribune
