In the new millennium, what secrets lay beyond the far reaches of the universe? What mysteries belie the truths we once held to be self evident? The world of science fiction has long been a porthole into the realities of tomorrow, blurring the line between life and art. Now, in The Year's Best Science Fiction: Thirtieth Annual Collection the very best SF authors explore ideas of a new world through their short stories. This venerable collection brings together award winning authors and masters of the field such as Robert Reed, Alastair Reynolds, Damien Broderick, Elizabeth Bear, Paul McAuley and John Barnes. And with an extensive recommended reading guide and a summation of the year in science fiction, this annual compilation has become the definitive must-read anthology for all science fiction fans and readers interested in breaking into the genre.

      From Indrapramit Das's story of a frozen world eternally locked into a Nightside and a Dayside ("Weep--or Day") to Robert Reed's novella about humans marooned on a planet where they are seen by the natives as monsters ("Eater-of-Bone"), the 29 stories collected here as the best of 2012 demonstrate sf's depth and breadth. Introductions to each story and a list of honorable mentions round out this volume. VERDICT Lovers of sf of all kinds will enjoy this annual overview.

      Hard-core sf fans or readers wishing to learn the genre but having no idea where to start should not hesitate to enter the pages of this anthology. Dozois, as he has on 29 previous occasions, has found the best and most compelling sf writing of the year. As in the past, Dozois has chosen both veteran writers (Robert Reed, Carrie Vaughn, and Alastair Reynolds) and new writers (Aliette De Bodard, Hannu Rajaniemi, and David Moles) for a truly expansive survey of what is transpiring in the sf world. Writers tackle tough issuesfor example, losing humanity in the face of apocalyptic destruction, humans who leave the safety of earth on the flimsy promise of a better life somewhere else, political warfare, and cyberattacks taking place on the barren surface of the moon. An important addition to the public library sf collection.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
