Some good stuff here, but only Jack O'Connell's "The Swag from Doc Hawthorne's" was good enough to make me want to track down more stuff by the author. The story itself was unremarkable, but he created a tension that almost had me skimming paragraphs just so I could find out what was going to happen.

I really enjoy these compilations, and in this one particularly Jeff Abbott's "Bet on Red."

some of the stories were great, some were okay, some were a waste of time... i'll have to come back and break it down later.
however, they were the perfect length for reading on the bus, in the waiting room, etc.

Some of the stories in here are quite good, other ones not so much, will make a top five list when I'm done with the book entirely.

Come December, I head for Vrooman's and look for the latest installment in the series. Every year's collection is put together by publisher Otto Penzler and new guest editor (Nelson DeMille, in this case). Some years are better than others, but none are dogs. These are great books to bring along while traveling — because they're easier to put down.

A couple of good stories, but not worth reading through the whole book to find those select few.

Very few really good stories, a couple of okay stories, but its mainly very poor stories.
