A great collection of stories showing Walter's amazing range and versatility.

Has everything from fantasy to a sequel to Hardwired via super heroes (the first Wild Cards story ever), alternate histories of "Elvis", Lord Byron, and Well's Martians interrupting the Boxer rebellion.

I liked some of the stories in this better than others but most of them were pretty cool. Some of them have actually poked and prodded me toward reading other stuff of his that I would normally shy away from.
Mary Guerra
Really good book of short sci-fi stories. Stumbled across this book and enjoyed it more than I thought.
