Science Fiction The Very Best of 2005 – edited by Jonathan Strahan, Locus Press, September 2006
A very strong volume, IMHO, with only the Palwick story being the one to which I would object to (although with the proviso that the Sterling and Cadigan stories were for my more towards the fantasy end of the spectrum than the SF, especially for an editor who does have a complementary fantasy collection).
