#####

This was a completely forgettable collection of stories by people who should write a heck of a lot better than this. None of these stories stood out, with the exception of Gene Wolf's, and even that wasn't particularly good. just well written, though I knew what was coming after about the first paragraph.

Don't bother seeking this collection out.
