Another excellent collection from Whates and from Solaris, with only a couple of weaker stories. May this editor/publisher combo live long and prosper.

The ‘anthology’ category on Best SF brings together all the reviews of books which are collections of new short stories, or collections of previously published short stories that aren’t Year’s Best, Nebula or Hugo collections.
Twelve Tomorrows. (MIT Technology Review, 2013)
With a gorgeously retro cover, and a splendid full-colour insert for the artwork of Richard Powers, just look at the authors whose fiction this anthology covers : Brin, Aldiss, McAuley, Kress, Steele, McDonald, Fulda, Goonan, Egan, Watts, Robson, Rydbom.
The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Volume Seven (ed Jonathan Strahan, Nightshade Books, 2013)
Reviews underway – in the meantime, why not buy yourself a copy from amazon.com | amazon.co.uk – it’s always good value for money.
Edge of Infinity. (ed Jonathan Strahan, Solaris Books 2012).
Stories sent in a humanity constrained to the solar system, but the stories are (perhaps because of that) almost all really good stories about humans, their desires, wishes and challenges. Buy the book!
Solaris Rising 1.5 (ed Ian Whates, Solaris 2012)
An excellent collection, more than whetting the appetite for Solaris Rising 2, due Spring 2013.
Year’s Best SF 17. (ed David G. Hartwell, Kathryn Cramer. Harper Voyager, 2012.)
A good range of sources covered, with three of the four major magazines getting a look in (no Analog), a couple of anthologies, and a range of online sources. Buy a copy for your bookshelf.
The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Volume Six (ed Jonathan Strahan, Nightshade Books, 2012)
First of the Year’s Best volumes to find its way into my clutches in 2012. amazon.com | amazon.co.uk
Panverse Three. (ed Dario Ciriello, Panverse Publishing 2011).
Five original novellas, from Don D’Ammassa, Ken Liu, Tochi Onyebuchi, Gavin Stoddard, and Jason Stoddard, with Liu the standout.
