Far Horizons: All New Tales from the Greatest Worlds of Science Fiction
AuthorRobert Silverberg
ISBN0060817127
*****"Old Music and the Slave Woman" - Ursula K. LeGuin.
Yes, I checked this book out from the library because I saw that it had a LeGuin story I hadn't read before! And yes, this alone was worth the price of admission. (Well, since it was from the library there wasn't a price, but, you know...)

Polar City Blues
AuthorKatharine Kerr
ISBN0553285041
Polar City Blues holds up very well for SF first published in 1990. Of course, I'm inclined to like tales mixing psychics, aliens, and murder mysteries. Kerr has built a universe which deliberately 'others' Caucasians, which succeeds reasonably well.

If I had a negative, it would be the use...

The Wind from a Burning Woman
AuthorGreg Bear
ISBN0445208465
I mostly enjoyed this collection of early-ish fiction by Greg Bear, although I have taken a star off because many of the stories had endings that jarred with me, or seemed abrupt or unfinished. The best example of this is probably Mandala. This is story with a great hook: the living cities of the planet...
Thousandstar
AuthorPiers Anthony
ISBN0380755564
Meh. Not too impressed. I must admit, I approached this book with a little excitement because this was my first Piers Anthony novel and his reputation precedes him. I’ve read collaborations of his and some of his short stories, I believe, but never one of his solo novels, so I felt like it was time. While...
Hijo de ladrón
AuthorManuel Rojas
ISBN8437618983
Es un libro interesante, por la forma en que está contada la historia, y no es solamente una historia, sino que existe una polifonía de historias que se unen al relato principal.
Es un libro difícil de leer, porque describe muchos paisajes y personajes. Lo más interesante de esta obra son las...
