- The planet Mercury, where there is more than meets the eye in Stephen Baxter's "Cilia-of-Gold"
- Two very different Hainish worlds--with very different customs--in two knockout novellas by Ursula K. Le Guin
- A junkyard in Brooklyn that won't stay put in "The Hole in the Hole" by Terry Bisson
In all, this volume presents twenty-three of the finest works of speculative fiction published in the past year, including stories by such diverse and fantastic talents as Michael Bishop, Pat Cadigan, Greg Egan, Eliot Fintushel, Michael F. Flynn, Lisa Goldstein, Joe Haldeman, Katharine Kerr, Nancy Kress, Maureen F. McHugh, Mike Resnick, Mary Rosenblum, Geoff Ryman, William Sanders, Brian Stableford, George Turner, Howard Waldrop, Walter Jon Williams.

"Dozois's intelligently and ably put-together anthology does its stated job as well as any one book or editor could. Even with competition, it would still be the best of the Best."--Publishers Weekly
