Hey Ernest, it's either trashing Eric Flint or flogging the dead horse
of "Why NASFiC is or is not a good thing".

Be glad it's Flint flogging.

Oops. 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.

Dear WSFAns,

I just got a galley in from Baen with a collection of stories from the
40s and 50s which share a twisted point of view. 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

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. Recommended.
