"A truly extraordinary sampler of tales.... Every piece in this superlative collection is a nugget of pure science-fiction gold." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "A gem, and a credit to editor Williams." -- Booklist "From John Varley's 1977 look at a new kind of 'Air Raid' to Robert Reed's 2006 dissection of a fictitious and ominously portentous short-lived TV-series ('Eight Episodes'), the 17 stories in this collection span the 30-year period since the late Isaac Asimov first published the magazine that bears his name and stands for the best in current SF and visionary fiction. Including stories by Robert Silverberg, Octavia Butler, Mike Resnick, Ursula Le Guin, and other genre standouts, this volume belongs in most SF or short-fiction collections." -- Library Journal "The good folk at Tachyon Publications have done a fine job producing this handsome book and are to be commended, as is editor Sheila Williams for her introductory remarks..." -- Tangent "Weighty and memorable emotional punches." -- Spiral Galaxy, "A truly distinguished magazine, worthy of being set beside such classics of the earlier golden ages as John W.
