To read is to journey, and to read science fiction is to venture into a myriad of imaginative and delightful worlds, such as:

- Robert Reed's fabulous galaxy-circling starship and its fascinating inhabitants, "The Remoras"
- 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

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
