An enjoyable collection of sci-fi short stories from some greats and some names I'd never heard of before. I particularly enjoyed Hamilton taking the piss out of himself in his (quite) short story contribution. I think the two standouts for me were The Lives and Deaths of Che Guivera by Lavie Tidhar and How We Came Back from Mars by Ian Watson.
The collection is great. There's no overarching theme but I found myself burning through the stories regardless.

An interesting character, the Swamp Thing. Not having any background with the series at all, I feel like I was sort of thrust into the comic in the middle of the action with Loose Threads tying up a bunch of threads I wasn't aware of at all. That said, once I figured out who was who the book had some very interesting things to say. The art is top notch and there's lots of great horror and general comic book weirdness going on here. I'm excited to read the rest.

An interesting conclusion to an interesting series. Lots of heady sci-fi stuff continues as well as Peter's signature writing style.

A little short vignette about the main character from Blindsight's father and what's going on back on Earth. I'm guessing the intent is to set the scene for Echophraxia, which I'll read next, but it's a fun diversion regardless.

An interesting and dark sci-fi story. This one is closer to hard sci-fi than soft, with most things having a realistic explanation. It will keep you turning pages until you're done with the book. I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

There may or may not be some useful information here, but the first part felt interminable. It was like the book of Matthew's famous Begats section, almost. And about stuff like the OSS and moving opium with the KMT: interesting topics but not really what I'm here for.
