Patrick Nielsen Hayden
Class/Genre: Science Fiction [Short Stories]
Tor, Oct 2003, $19.95, 288 pp.
This seventeen story anthology provides readers with some of the better shorts that focused on new scientific discoveries and theories. The tales include eight from the 1980s, six from the 1990s and three from the current decade. Each of the contributions is well written and applies recent scientific thought and theory to enhance a particular sub-genre. The authors, many of whom are major award winners, are some of the top guns of the past twenty plus years, but each entry shows why that writer is very highly regarded. Fans of short story collections that use modern science as a base for future predictions of what is to come or just want to understand some of the more current theories will take great delight in reading NEW SKIES, a well written strong collection with no weak stories.
