This review is from: ASIMOV'S SCIENCE FICTION - Volume 15, number 4 and 5 - April Apr 1991: Bully; Beggars in Spain; The July Ward; A History of the Twentieth Century, with Illustrations; Build a Tower to the Sky; Lighthouse Summer

The cover claims spectacular 14th anniversary issue. Spectacular is overstating the case somewhat, given several average stories. However, certainly above average for these, and at 320 pages is basically a cheap book, so a good deal for length, absolutely, if you find this one second hand.

Egan, Kress, Robinson, Resnick all good. Asimov writes on suspense writing, but his story is the worst.
