Like its predecessors UFO4 is a pretty good humorous fantasy/sci-fi anthology, though the 2 reprints included in the collection are clearly a cut above the rest.
The book opens with Neil Gaiman's "We Can Get Them For You Wholesale" and closes with George R.R. Martin's "The Monkey Treatment", featuring newly written content in between. While the plots are of the same quality as the other stories, it is the prose of these two masters that stands out.
