For better or worse, I love short stories and especially ones with new authors. I don't expect to love every story in the book, but always find a few worth my time and wanting to read again and again. These stories are just the right length for commuting and I look forward to reading them all.

Here you will find my usual spiel about how I am willing to try any collection of science fiction short stories, even when all the authors are unknowns to me. Even the best anthologies are hit and miss, and when you have one like this of all new voices getting their start.... well, it's more miss than hit. For me, this one was all miss. Someone needs to read new authors - I get that. But this time that someone isn't me.

Arc Copy...There was a rhythm and flow I liken to that, and the selection of sci-fi and fantasy were wonderful true that!

"Score" has a lot going for it. I'll definitely recommend this one to our library patrons, but I don't think it is quite right for our collection.

A good mix of stories, and the proceeds benefit charity!. An emphasis on story order in anthologies is usually not mentioned, but is well-crafted here and is in fact the basis for the stories - evoking a set of specific emotions . As usual, they're not all of the same quality, but good overall. Recommended for those that like SF anthologies (there is a wide range of SF genres, so don't buy it if you're looking for a particular genre).

I really appreciate the ARC for review!
