One novella, "The Man Who Put the Bomp" by Richard Chwedyk. Another wonderful installment about the 'saurs. And showing there's more to some fo them than it first seemed.
Three Novelets:
"Driverless" by Robert Grossback, an excellent extrapolation about driverless cars and driverless car companies
"Ten Half-Pennies" by Matthew Hughes, an excellent fantasy story about trust and loyalty
"The Avenger" by Albert E. Cowdrey, a slightly uneven story about a extraordinary Attorney at Law with magical or psychic powers.
Four short stories:
"The Toymaker's Daughter" by Arundhati Hazra with a lovely fantasy premise that had an unbelievable outcome
"A Green Silk Dress and a Wedding-Death" by Cat Hellisen, which was a very good traditional fantasy story in many ways
"Miss Cruz" by James Sallis which was a short short and seemed to need more "Daisy" by Eleanor Arnason, a cute story about a PI, gangsters, and an octopus.
Overal 4/5.
Then I re-read The Tau Manifesto in the form of the PDF I bought to show support. Read it for free online at

You'll never look at a circle in the same way again. Highly recommended if you have any interest in mathematics.
A definite 5/5 from me.
Next up:
The Moon of Gomrath by Alan Garner. Apparently a follow-up to
The Weirdstone of Brisingamen.
