Sci-fi & Fantasy

Few forms suit SF better than the short novel: long enough to flesh out the details of an alien world or bizarre future society, yet short enough to pack a punch - powerful, elegant and free of padding. Now, drawing on his benchmark annual series "Best New SF", multiple award-winning editor Gardner Dozois selects the 13 finest science fiction novels of the last 20 years. These unmissable tales, collected here for the first time in one volume, include: Robert Silverberg's "Sailing to Byzantium", Michael Swanwick's "Griffin's Egg", Alastair Reynolds'"Turqouise Days", James Patrick Kelly's "Mr. Boy", Ursula K. Le Guin "Forgiveness Day", and, Greg Egan's "Oceanic".
