Strong anthology
14 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover
Greg Bear is the winner of numerous prestigious awards in all the categories. This particular collection contains many of his short stories (21), and three novellas. The stories have all been printed before, but not in one volume and would be impossible to obtain in their original format. Each tale includes an introduction that is new. Fans of the author and science fiction readers in general will relish The Collected Works of Greg Bear in spite of the near breaking of the $30.00 barrier as this anthology displays the talent of one of the late twentieth century genre's top spinners.

Buy it if you like Bear or really good sci-fi
20 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This gets a five out of five easily. No, not every story is that good, and as a matter of fact there are a couple stories that I didn't like, and I think one or two that I couldn't even get through. But this compilation has the novella Hardfought, a story that Bear himself says may be the best thing he's ever written in the foreword, and I think he might be right. Hardfought is one of the best far future stories that's been written, and ranks up there with Frank Herbert and such as far as quality goes. It would earn this collection 5 out of 5 even if the rest of the stories were nothing but Harry Potter fan fiction... just ignore the poetry.
The compilation also has the short story Blood Music, which I thought was much better than the full novel, so that may be of interest to Bear fans.
There are a few other stories of very good quality, such as Judgment Engine and The Venging, and the rest- with some exceptions- are all pretty good.
At 16$ this book is a really good deal. I'm pretty sure I paid around more than that and I don't regret it at all.

Greg Bear Stuns!
14 Mar 2003
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an astonishing series of stories. It seems almost impossible that one mind could cover this kind of scope and do it so entertainingly and well.
As you can tell, I LOVED this book!
