Anthologies
Solaris Rising. (ed Ian Whates. Solaris, 2011.)
With an editor, publisher, and collection of authors whose pedigree is beyond reproach, a book to be bought straight away : amazon.com | amazon.co.uk
trsf : The Best New Science Fiction. (Technology Review 2011).
An attractive magazine with a new Chris Foss cover, and some really good stories – Doctorow, Cadigan, Macleod and Di Filippo of particular note.
Triangulation : End of the Rainbow. (PARSEC Ink, 2010).
The 2010 edition of a high quality small press annual anthology.
Panverse Three. (ed Dario Ciriello, Panverse Publishing 2011).
Five original novellas, from Don D’Ammassa, Ken Liu, Tochi Onyebuchi, Gavin Stoddard, and Jason Stoddard.
Further Conflicts. (ed Ian Whates, NewCon Press 2011).
A stronger volume than its predecessor, with more stories of a higher standard. Lots of fast-paced action, with a variety of settings, to make for an adrenaline-rush of a read. amazon.co.uk hb | amazon.co.uk kindle
Engineering Infinity. (ed Jonathan Strahan, Solaris Books, 2011).
I’d be surprised if there’s a stronger anthology in 2011. amazon.com | amazon.co.uk
The Mammoth Book of Apocalyptic SF. (ed Mike Ashley, Robinson 2010)
An excellent collection, with some extremely strong new stories and classy classics. amazon.com | amazon.co.uk
Conflicts. (Ian Whates, NewCon Press, 2010.)
The latest in a series of anthologies from British small-press publisher.
Is Anybody Out There? (ed Nick Gevers and Marty Halpern. Daw, 2010).
DAW Books anthology themed around the Fermi Paradox. There are some good stories in here – Irvine, Lake, Langford and Vukcevich are my picks – but no real standouts.
Shine. (Jetse de Vries, Solaris 2010).
The more experienced authors do provide the stronger stories, and there a couple of stories which are quite weak, but Stoddard, Powell and de Bodard, and Sellar provide strong support to Kenyon, who has the story of the volume.
