From Booklist
Editor Hartwell proves that sf “remains vigorous and challenging and eminently worth reading” in the eighteenth volume of his science-fiction anthology series, with 28 stories published in 2012 that represent the genre’s best. A soon-to-be mother haunts her future multiple times, always on Christmas, and tracks the progression of her and her daughter’s life in Paul Cornell’s poignant, philosophical story “The Ghosts of Christmas.” An alien translator of human stories uses her knowledge of Sherlock Holmes to solve a mystery in her own home in Eleanor Arnason’s “Holmes Sherlock: A Hwarhath Mystery.” Ken Liu, in “Waves,” explores the significance of creation stories through a woman’s evolution from an ordinary human on a generation ship to a being of free-form energy. A few very short stories, such as Lewis Shiner’s biting two-page “Application,” prove that length is not always necessary to explore provocative ideas. Together with stories by Andy Duncan, Gwyneth Jones, Yoon Ha Lee, Megan Lindholm, and many established and rising authors, this excellent anthology is evidence that the genre is alive and well. --Krista Hutley
