ARONICA, Lou, STOUT, Amy & MITCHELL, Betsy (Eds.): Full Spectrum 4. New York, Bantam, 1993. First Paperback Edition. Softcover, 485 pp. Subject: Science Fiction / Short Story Anthologies. Condition: Very Good. Tiny edge-wear to one of the upper spine tips with a crease or two to the spine's lower extremities. Relative light toning to pages but all clean. "Brilliant, disturbing, visionary, and startlingly original, Full Spectrum 4 is quite simply the state of the art of speculative fiction today." This award-winning anthology of the best imaginative and fantastic tales includes gems by Kevin J. Anderson, David Brin, Stephen R. Donaldson, Nancy Kress, Ursula K. LeGuin and others. ISBN: 0553371428

Another noteworthy entry in this laudable series of original anthologies, this one comprising 19 stories--one a translation from the French--and a poem from Ursula K. LeGuin. Best of the bunch: a splendid discourse on the enigmas of alien communication (John M. Landsberg); aliens, beauty, and art, in a striking combination (Ray Aldridge); a waggish and touching yarn featuring another story's minor characters (Martha Soukup); Andean saints and magic realism (Bonita Kale); brooding, provocative thoughts on aliens and alienation (Mark Rich); and, amusing and telling, a man who wakes up dead (Nancy Kress). Also worthwhile, if less remarkable by comparison: hermaphrodites, women warriors, alien artifacts, memory, magic, growing up, computers and paranoia, god and guilt, a deal with the devil, Mars, black holes, and Africa. High standards maintained: the fourth in this series is as thematically diverse, well crafted, and imaginative as ever.page margins toned, else fine. ref 27
