Fun magazine sized collection focusing on credible near futures that managed to get stories by Kress, Egan and Kowal - all of which are writers who have written some of the finest SF in recent years and each are writers who I will always read their stories if I have the collection/ magazine to hand and they are are writers I actively seek out so to get all three in a 6 story collection was reason enough to pick this up for only 99p and the Egan story was loved by Dozois and will appear in his Best of the year later in 2015.
The Egan is at least twice the length of any of the other stories and as this is at the end it did give the whole thing a bit of an unbalanced feel. The other 5 stories are all very short but I enjoyed every one of them.
The Egan is a great fun heist story and worth picking up the collection for. The Kress is well written as always but feels minor compared to some of her other work - still I was glad I read it.
