Sam J. Miller. Last Gods. (Drowned Worlds, 2016)
Another strong story from Miller.
Gord Sellar. Prodigal. (Analog, December 2016)
Not a story that grabbed me.
Karin Lowachee. A Good Home. (Lightspeed Magazine #73 June 2016)
It’s a subtle story, interestingly placed in the anthology just before a story with not dissimilar themes, and which doesn’t do the following stories any favours by setting a high standard.
Ian R. MacLeod. The Visitor from Taured. (Asimov’s, September 2016).
A love story, only requited at the end, as her cosmologist lover looks for some Big Answers to some Big Questions.
Rich Larson. Extraction Request. (Clarkesworld Magazine #112 January 2016)
Another quality story from Larson.
