Paolo Bacigalupi. A Hot Day’s Night. (Fantasy and Science Fiction, September/October 2015)
Nice to have a story form Bacigalupi – oh for the days when stories from him were much more common occurrences.
Paolo Bacigalupi. Shooting the Apocalypse. (The End is Nigh)
Socio-economic apocalypse being the order of the day, with borders in the USA closed and states wary of their neighbours.
Paolo Bacigalupi. The Alchemist. (Subterranean Press, 2011).

Chock full of protein for the brain, with only a bit of excess fat and carbohydrate. To burn off those calories I’m off for a bit of ‘fast-paced’ Asimov’s action…..

Fast Forward 2. ed Lou Anders, pub Pyr 2008.
As with #1, another handsome collection of short SF from some of the biggest names in SF. Praise especially for making room for the lengthy Rosenbaum/Doctorow story.
‘Fast Forward 1’ ed Lou Anders, pub Pyr 2007
An excellent collection of short SF. Several made it to the various Year’s Best collections, and a couple of others which were not selected would not have looked out of place. The volume starts well, is strong in the middle, and ramps up to a strong finish.
Wastelands – Stories of the Apocalypse ed John Joseph Adams. Night Shade Books, 2008.
This is a very strong collection. Adams has trawled 25 years worth of high quality SF to put together the volume, and there’s an awful lot of good reading to be had.

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).
