4.0 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader, November 14, 2007
This review is from: The King of the Hill (Hardcover)
A fair bit of this collection has stories based in the same future history setting, a hint of which can be seen in the names of the last two stories. The first two stories are the ones that are quite different.

A good collection, averaging 3.50, certainly worth reading.
