3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, Not as Strong as "Brilliant in Chrome",

This review is from: All The Rage This Year: The Phobos Science Fiction Anthology (Phobos Award S.) (Vol.3) (Paperback)
This is the third collection of short science-fiction stories from Phobos, and they have a good eye for emerging talent, but this collection underscores the need for more writers producing more good ideas. They essentially admit as much in the afterword.
The stories in this collection are mostly strong, but none of them really light up the place like some in the earlier collection, "Absolutely Brilliant in Chrome". I recommend this to anyone who wants to invest in supporting new voices in SF, but if you just want a quick thrill, read the first two books instead.

This review is from: All The Rage This Year: The Phobos Science Fiction Anthology (Phobos Award S.) (Vol.3) (Paperback)
I read a lot of science fiction anthologies, and found this to be one of the more enjoyable ones that I've read recently. I had read the first two books in this series (Hitting the Skids in PixelTown and Empire of Dreams and Miracles) and had enjoyed both of those. I actually liked this better than Empire of Dreams, which was itself a good book. This series is based on contest submissions, and tends to get a broader variety of stories and ideas than some of the other anthologies I've read. Are they fantastic stories? No. Were they a good fun read? Yes. (Review written by Joshua, Erica's husband, who is too lazy to have his own Amazon account.)
