The following is a review for the story, Night Passage by Alastair Reynolds, which is the only reason i got this anthology.
Night Passage is the third book in the Revelation Space Universe.
This time a Demarchist sleeper ship, with thousands of passengers on board, has apparently been taken over by the Conjoiners among the passengers and is now drifting in space near an large unknown object. Time is running out as, without any engines, the ship is slowly drifting towards the object and won't survive the encounter.
I really enjoyed this short story which has quite a depth to it, essentially beginning with the quote:
And actually ending with the quote:
Available in the anthology, Infinite Stars.
And for my sins of thoroughly enjoying this i now head straight into A Spy in Europa.… (meer)

I really enjoyed this short story which has quite a depth to it, essentially beginning with the quote:
Shame is a mask that becomes the face.
The implication of which being that if you wear the mask long enough, it grafts itself to your skin, becomes and indelible part of you--even a kind of comfort.
And actually ending with the quote:
A late gift is worse than no gift at all.
Would you mind leaving me now?

This was a great collection. Enjoyed all the stories but the last one. It just didn't really resonate. BUT -- the other stories (and there are lots of them) varied from great and entertaining to brilliant. I loved The Iron Star, by Robert Silverberg, and Dual on Syrtis, but Poul Anderson. I'd never read either of those authors, and both of the stories were fantastic.
It took me a damned long time to work my way through this book, but it was worth the effort.
It took me a damned long time to work my way through this book, but it was worth the effort.
While there were some stories written by favorite authors, and others by authors I have always intended to read, there was much that turned me off of this collection. I think the over-emphasis on heavy guns and ammo in several, including teenagers with assault rifles, were too over the top for me.
I appreciated the variety of what are considered monsters by the authors: not just gangs of trolls living underground and nasty werewolves, but also Imhotep and an encounter with Dippel's Oil by Benjamin Franklin. The Monster Hunters International (MHI) Organization is kept intact by all of the authors, although there do seem to be competing factions within the monster hunting world.
But, I will steer clear of this series. The idea of blowing away "Others" by great firepower is just not my thing.… (meer)

Merged review:
I enjoyed this story, but it's also one more character I'd like to know more about -- what happened next?
