    Now that looks like a book I can get into. I finished Seeds of Change the other day. It was a fast read; I wound up skipping a couple of the stories cause they weren’t doing it for me, and I kind of found Buckell’s Pepper story to be a bit of a letdown. My review should be up fairly soon. It’s the next substantial post I plan on working on for my blog.

    So pretty… Now I just need to write a story good enough to get inside the pretty cover. :o)

    Very nice – but it needs a fleet of federation warships somewhere.

    @ Chris Hayden

    Do you mean “Where are the names of the contributors?” If so, then the answer is that the book has not been finalized yet, and the cover is just preliminary; once the table of contents is finalized, the publisher will likely add some names to the cover before the book goes to press. Unless the put them on the back instead, though I expect some will go on the front.
