There is always going to be one or more that stand out, and considering two, and in some cases three or four, of the authors in this anthology are convention drinking buddies of mine, it is difficult to be impartial.
One, Philip "Doc" Wohlrab's entry is just good and creepy, even if it fuels every conspiracy theory you ever had about senior elements of the US government having sold out to evil, eldritch things from dead stars. Spoiler alert- this time they actually did.
Two, Jack Clemons, Bun Bun, the hulking, bearded manchild known all through fandom both for being 6'7 and 350ish and for being a ton of fun at parties, shocked the hell out of all of us by turning in a serious piece of literature in his first sale. If you liked nice old school Shadowrun-era cyberpunk stuff, you will love this. Somehow he wrote a good early 1990s before-it-started-to-suck Shadowrun story in the Atlanta metro area, yet without stepping on a single actual copyright of FASA's. It's an awesome read with a cliffhanger ending that Bun Bun assured us is being expanded into a full novel.
KC Ezell, Chris Smith, and others from our usual social circle of unindicted co-conspirators did their thing as well. Some of the stories occur in larger universes and may read a bit better with prior backstory, but there wasn't a dud in the bunch. Highly recommended.
