Title: Very disappointing...
Review: ...like the arrival of warm weather in Chicago (currently 50 and it's 30 May for cripes sakes...brrrr), I eagerly await Strange New Worlds. But starting from the cover (what is that thing on there?) to the absence of introductory remarks from DWS (yeah, I actually read it...gives me an idea on what went on during the selection process), SNW-IV left me wanting. Unlike I-III, IV only had a few stories that were interesting and/or entertaining. Granted, I have high expectations given the past three collections (and each were terrific). IV just seemed like it ran out of gas (ideas) and was just going through the motions for the sake of maintaining the franchise. I love fan fiction...so many different point of views (fresh minds, new ideas) but only two stories are worth recommending, hardly enough to justify purchasing the book. Borrow a friends or check it out at your library...
