  <default_description>Bestselling writer Orson Scott Card founded the online magazine&lt;I&gt; Intergalactic Medicine Show&lt;/I&gt; in 2006. It has been a big success, drawing submissions from well-known sf and fantasy writers, as well as fostering some amazing new talents. This collection contains some of the best of those stories from the past year.&lt;BR&gt;There is fiction from David Farber, Tim Pratt, and David Lubar among others, also four new &lt;I&gt;Ender&#8217;s Game&lt;/I&gt; universe stories by Card himself. This collection is sure to appeal to Card&#8217;s fans, and be a great ambassador to them for these other talented writers.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[  A steller collection of science fiction.  I would recommend this to all SF fans.  There are some background stories for Orson Card Card's Ender universe.  True short stories of a few thousand words and novellas.  All are intense and well written.  <br/>  All stories come with a little epilog writ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39742496">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good, but not great.  I liked, but didn't love the Ender world stories.  I bought the book for those stories and was mildly disappointed.  They're OK, but all a little preachy at the same time.  Of the other stories--most sci-fi, a couple fantasy--, there are some really good ones, and a lot of OK o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35619962">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Short stories work really well for a compulsive reader (myself) who doesn't have long stretches of time to read (also myself). Usually, when I get into a story, I ignore all other responsibilities, including bedtime, to find out what happens next. With short stories, I found this compulsion was natu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11665401">more...</a>]]></body>

Some were interesting, others were boring, and a couple were downright bizarre.  Also, some of the stories, seemed like more fantasy than science fiction to me.
