It turns out I must have started this some time ago, and then forgot that I'd started it. Now finished.
Two Novellas:
"In the Lost City of Leng" by Rudy Rucker & Paul Di Filippo. A Lovecraftian story and not really to my taste.
"The Rescue of the Renegat" by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. One of her Fleet stories. I enjoyed it.
Four Novellas:
"Sea of Dreams" by Cixin Liu, trans. John Chu. Artistic temperament write large. Quite good.
"Solicited Discordance" by Matthew Hughes. P.I. on alien world. OK.
"Assassin in the Clouds" by Robert R. Chase. Bodyguard work. OK.
"Barren Isle" by Allen M. Steele. A Coyote story. Good.
Four Short Stories:
"Consciousness: 4107's Story" and "The Final Commandment: Trey's Story" by James Gunn. Back stories of two characters in his Transcendental trilogy. OK, but only just. Clearly setups for the novels.
"The Equalizers" by Ian Creasey. An interesting look at anti-discrimination technology and social interactions. Good.
"Mother Tongues" by S. Qiouyi Lu. Good story about the importance of language.
Only 3/5 for me this time.
Next up:
Penhallow by Georgette Heyer. Her 31st novel.
