Review
Hartwell has produced a pool of anthologies that attempt to stand as definitive volumes. The Science Fiction Century is another such successful landmark collection. (Publishers Weekly)
A superb survey for the uninitiated and a definitive sampler for confirmed fans. (Booklist)
This ranks as one of the definitive anthologies of the genre - and it makes the perfect introduction to the field of science fiction . . . The Science Fiction Century shows great breadth and range . . . Editor Hartwell succeeds by including a wide range of authors, styles, and themes. (The Des Moines Register)
We are in the hands of a loving expert. (John Updike on The Hard SF Rennaissance)
A first-rate selection of some of the best short SF and fantasy of recent years. Locus Magazine on New Skies and New Magics (Locus Magazine)
The finest collection of SF short stories published specifically for young adult readers in recent memory. (VOYA on New Skies)
Superior - Nielsen Hayden deserves a medal. There hasn't been an original anthology series so consistently satisfying since Damon Knight's Orbit. (Kirkus Reviews on Starlight 3)
The finest collection of SF short stories published specifically for young adult readers in recent memory. (Voice of Youth Advocates)
A bumper crop of 34 stories from authors who first came to prominence in the 21st century, compiled by two of the most highly respected editors in the business . . . Grab this book. Whether newcomer or old hand, the reader will not be disappointed. --Kirkus Reviews
