The latest volume in the BSFA Award-winning series.
Editor Donna Scott has been rigorously selecting and rejecting stories by British and Irish authors, setting aside the good in order to produce a volume of the very good. A selection of outstanding stories gleaned from anthologies, collections, websites and magazines (including Analog, Asimov's, Clarkesworld, ParSec, Uncanny, Apex, Shorelines of Infinity, and more).
Twenty stories representing some of the very best science fiction published in 2025, gathered within the covers of one book.
