Locus‘s Karen Burnham also reviewed the book, which was summed up: “a really interesting anthology that gives us a number of perspectives, mostly funny but also often thoughtful, on this most cliched trope of adventure fiction.”

Horton goes on to single out Heather Lindsley’s “The Angel of Death Has a Business Plan” as the best of the snarky, not quite serious stories, and also name-checks Diana Gabaldon’s “The Space Between” and Jeffrey Ford’s “The Pittsburgh Technology” as standout stories of a more serious bent.
