Synopsis

For over twenty years, The Years Best Science Fiction has been recognized as the best collection of short science fiction writing in universe and an essential resource for every science fiction fan. In 2005, the original Best of the Best collected the finest short stories from that series and became a benchmark in the SF field. Now for the first time ever, Hugo Award-winning editor Gardner Dozois sifts through hundreds of stories and dozens of authors, who have gone on to become some of the most esteemed practitioners of the form to bring readers the ultimate anthology of short science fiction novels from his legendary series. With such notable authors as Ursula K. LeGuin, Michael Swanwick, Joe Haldeman, Frederick Pohl, Greg Egan, Robert Silverberg, Alastair Reynolds, and many more, the Best of the Best Volume 2 will be the most significant science fiction short novel anthology ever published.

Media Reviews
Praise for The Best of the Best : Gardner Dozois' YEAR'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION anthology, an annual volume of gigantic size and awesome range, has after twenty years become a wondrous trove of great stories and an archive that has immeasurable historical significance. Now Dozois has selected the best of the best. --Robert Silverberg
If a science fiction fan from 1984 chanced to stumble into a time warp and pop up in the here and now, and wanted to know what had been happening in his favorite genre in the last twenty years, all you'd need to do was hand him a copy of Gardner Dozois's Best of the Best, This is two decades of the best that science fiction has to offer, chosen by the most respected editor in the field...a copy belongs of the shelf of every SF reader. --George R.R. Martin, bestselling author of A Game Of Thrones
The Best of the Best collected all in one volume is beyond terrific! It'll make nonreaders of science fiction realize why the genre has so many devoted fans, and the readers of science fiction hyperventilate. This is the cream of the cream of the crop! And all in one place! I cannot wait to read it! --Connie Willis, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author
The title says it all. If you like science fiction, you need this book! Gardner Dozois is the savviest editor alive, and his picks are brilliant, thought-provoking, and immensely entertaining. Sell your grandmother if you must, but buy this book! --Michael Swanwick, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Theodore Sturgeon Awards Dozois's Best of the Year volumes have had consistently high literary quallity. I've used them as a primary text for twenty years, teaching SF writing at MIT, and they always give the students interesting examples of the huge variety of stories that live under the SF tent. --Joe Haldeman, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Forever War
