5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb showcase of cutting-edge SF and fantasy
Jonathan Strahan's anthologies always exhibit his impeccable taste and--just as importantly!--his ability to get the best writers to deliver their best work for the occasion. In *Eclipse Two*, major tales by Ted Chiang, Terry Dowling, Alastair Reynolds, Margo Lanagan, Jeffrey Ford, and many others indicate just how dynamic and innovative short SF and fantasy still can be...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not nearly as good as the first one
Having read Eclipse and finding many great short stories, I was looking forward to this sequel. It was a huge disappointment. Some of the stories were nary unreadable. None really stood out. It was a struggle to finish - and I read 8 books that week. If they publish an Eclipse Three, I'll skip it.

Jonathan Strahan's anthologies always exhibit his impeccable taste and--just as importantly!--his ability to get the best writers to deliver their best work for the occasion. In *Eclipse Two*, major tales by Ted Chiang, Terry Dowling, Alastair Reynolds, Margo Lanagan, Jeffrey Ford, and many others indicate just how dynamic and innovative short SF and fantasy still can be. Galactic empires, near-future dystopias, superhero satires, post-cyberpunk capers, ghost stories...it's all here.

Ted Chiang's 'Exhalation' would be enough reason to buy this book on it's own (I highly recommend his collection 'Stories of your life'), that it's accompanied by stories that compare well with it is a delight.
This is a very good anthology of modern SF/Fantasy short stories. I don't seek out Fantasy, it doesn't interest me, but I did enjoy the quality of writing in this collection.
