As usual a very good collection, but also as usual with this series, the text is full of typos which should have been picked up by a proofreader. (Sometimes you have to work out what the sentence was supposed to have said.)
Also, DON'T BELIEVE THE COVER! There are no stories by Alistair Reynolds, Ken MacLeod or Greg Egan, despite that fact that all three are listed on the cover.
10 out of 10 for Gardner Dozois, 0 out of 10 for the publishers, Constable & Robinson.

The 4-star review is a best-guess for this wonderful annual collection. But don't confuse this with The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Seventh Annual Collection also edited by Gaardner Dozois. They are exactly the same book. I've made my bi-annual mistake of buying both separately. SF23 (this book) is currently a lot cheaper than the 27th Annual Collection, so if you are stuck for choice, choose this one. (Although the covers of the xxth Annual Collection series are much nicer, the books are much bigger, more unweildly and heavier that the SFxx series).

OK, the cover is misleading and there are typo's but there seems to be typo's in every book I buy recently whether that is fiction or academic so can we really focus a review on that. I buy Dozois' Mammoth book of best SF every year and for me this was a really good selection. there were very few that I didn't like. Most provided just what I want from SciFi. Most people know what they're getting with this series and this is probably better than the recent few years.

Another great compilation...
...But it's really annoying to read (over and over again) the formatting typos like 'he li cop ter' and 'eu rope'

Not the best of the series...
A decent enough collection, but I've really come to expect more than this from Dozois' collections. The previous three were much better. Read more
