Sorry. Didn't mean to insult any of you with the offer. I'll find someone with no taste or self respect to review it...oh...that would be me.

Is anyone out there interested in doing a review? It won't be due for a while, as the book comes out in Jan. Of course, you're welcome to submit it to the WSFA journal as well. Ern Title: The World Turned Upside Down Author: Eric Flint Reviewer: Issue: Status: 04 RECD ISBN: 0743498747 Publisher: Baen Media: Hardcover Galley: y ListPrice: $24.00 Release Date: 01 January, 2005 Contact: Marla Ainspan Short Review: One of the hallmarks of Golden Age short stories was the surprise ending, the point at which the reader's world turns upside down. Even today, it's a neat trick to play on your readers. The editorial team of Drake, Baen and Flint have brought together 34 of the best such stories from the best writers the Golden Age had to offer: Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein, Sheckly, Dickson...and many more. If you read these long ago, you'll be happy to know the stories stand up very well over time. If you've only have only heard of these authors spoken of in hushed tones...dive in...this is a great place to start. By the way, read all you want...there are plenty more where these came from. The World Turned Upside Down is a terrific collection, and there's plenty of room for future volumes.
