Best Short Novels 2004 by Jonathan Strahan

The Empress of Mars by Kage Baker; The Green Leopard Plague by Walter Jon Williams;

In Springdale Town by Robert Freeman Wexkr; The Swastika Bomb by John Meaney; Jailwise by Lucius Shepard; Just Like the Ones We Used to Know

by Connie Willis; Greetings by Terry Bisson; Awake in the Night by John C. Wright; Off on a Starship by William Barton

This is the first in what I hope will become a series. It is published by the Science Fiction Book Club and offers an opportunity for works of a greater length to appear in book form. Well-known authors like Walter Jon Williams and Connie Willis are interspersed with authors that are very little known such as John Meaney and John C. Wright. They seem well chosen and good reading.
