Decalog 5: Wonders: Ten Stories, A Billon Years, An Infinite Universe

http://nhw.livejournal.com/115492.html

With one dull exception ("Negative Space" by Jeanne Cavelos) this collection of ten sf short stories ranges from competent to very good. I bought it because my friend from college Dominic Green contributed one of the better ones, "King's Chamber". I'm not quite sure of the linkage between the stories and the Doctor Who universe - one of the stories features the unofficial companion Bernice Summerfield, heroine of the "Doctor Who without the Doctor" books produced by another old friend from college, Rebecca Levene - and I didn't really feel there was much of an overall unifying theme, but no real complaints on that score. I can't remember where I bought it but it was certainly cheap and good value. ( )

A pretty ordinary collection of stories. The average here is only 3.15
