I really enjoyed this one. The cover story left me cold, but the novella "The Long Wait" (Allen M. Steele) was a really nice character piece, and all the short pieces were quite good. I most liked "Ninety-five Percent Safe" (Caroline M Yoachim), which, though it was on reflection a bit gimmicky, nevertheless really tugged my parental emotions.
The novella was excellent as were a couple of the short stories. The rest was just ok.
Superb cover novella by Rudy Rucker & Marc Laidlaw, 'Watergirl' reads like Thomas Pynchon getting high on quantum aether. Allen Steele's 'The Long Wait' is predictable and overwritten. The best of the five short stories here is the haunting 'Songs in the Key of You' by Sarah Pinsker.
