30TH ANNIVERSARY DAW SCIENCE FICTION
Edited by Betsy Wollheim and Sheila Gilbert
Daw, May 2002, $24.95, 464 pp.
ISBN: 0756400643
Over thirty years Donald A. Wollheim had a vision of a home for speculative fiction writers and fans so he created Daw. Over the next three decades, Daw has published some of the best fantasy and science fiction works in the business. If this review sounds like déjà vu, it is because this collection easily matches the high quality bar of its sister anthology, 30TH ANNIVERSARY DAW FANTASY. This collection, 30TH ANNIVERSARY DAW SCIENCE FICTION, also provides strong stories that run the gamut of the genre from some of the more renowned writers to the future stars. Once again, the stories pay homage to the company, but the contributors including the editors pay deference to the deceased founding father. Each tale is new, but more important, it is well written as if each writer understood who they really honor with this collection. Fans of science fiction will enjoy the tales, but also the short introductory blurb that each author adds about Mr. Wollheim. Great short storybook worth reading as much as its fantasy companion.
