A review by realbooks4ever
The New Space Opera by Jonathan Strahan, Gardner Dozois
3.0
The trouble with reading a 515 page book of short stories is that by the time I finish it I can't remember all of the plotlines. I was sure that if I just marked the ones I enjoyed as I went along it would be sufficient enough to at least remember those. No. So I give you a list of the ones I marked, and the one story that did stand out enough for me to choose it as my favorite.
SAVING TIAMAAT - Gwyneth Jones
WINNING PEACE - Paul J. McAuley
MAELSTROM - Kage Baker
WHO'S AFRAID OF WOLF 359? - Ken Macleod
MINLA'S FLOWERS - Alastair Reynolds
REMEMBERANCE - Steven Baxter
THE EMPORER AND THE MAULA - Robert Silverberg
THE WORM TURNS - Gregory Benford
ART OF WAR - Nancy Kress
And the winner is: SPLINTERS OF GLASS - Mary Rosenblum. This fast-paced story is set on Europa, where there are cities carved in the ice underground. A wonderfully written chase scene on powered "boards" had me on the edge of my seat!
