Great anthology w/ impressive entries from Conover,
By A Customer
This review is from: Absolutely Brilliant in Chrome, Vol. 1: Phobos Galaxy (Paperback)
Phobos Books is making a name for itself with impressive science fiction anthologies - "Empire of Dreams and Miracles" in 2002 (edited by Orson Scott Card) was fantastic. Now with "Absolutely Brilliant in Chrome," the publisher has done the unlikely - it has surpassed itself. The stories in this volume are great, a thinking person's short story (but then, isn't this the genre for the thinking person?) Returning after an entry in "Empire" is Charleston writer Daniel Conover. In "Absolutely Brilliant," he contributes two pieces, including what may be my favorite short story of all time: "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." In "Guess" Conover weaves UFO and Roswell lore into modern politics and pop culture, throws in a measure of Heavy Metal and turns it all into his own wonderful, twisted world. You will laugh out loud, particularly when one alien cries while watching "E.T." The stories in here are great, Conover's is a classic. You should buy this anthology for that alone.

This review is from: Absolutely Brilliant in Chrome, Vol. 1: Phobos Galaxy (Paperback)
This collection covers everything from lush fantasy tales, to clean sci-fi. I enjoyed all the stories, but especially liked the two by Daniel Conover. His clean style, wit, and sense of irony shine through in both stories.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner!,
By Matt Bivens (Olney, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Absolutely Brilliant in Chrome, Vol. 1: Phobos Galaxy (Paperback)
I'd fallen out of reading short stories but a friend recommended this and it's great. A perfect summer vacation read. Good tales, and it's extra fun trying to guess who'll be the next Orson Scott Card or Douglas Adams. I suspect it'll be Daniel Conover: Don't miss his riff on George W. Bush negotiating secret treaties with rival extra-terrestials!
