[Azeem · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting approach to anthologizing science-fiction but also a limiting one... I have read far better anthologies (far worse)... the biggest drawback is that the only piece I will remember from this collection is the one by Rudyard Kipling in which he describes his meeting with Mark Twain. Stories, although not bad, may not be that memorable.

[Chris Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like the idea of having authors all inspired by their exposure to Kipling telling stories based on that exposure. This is a good collection of stories by authors I have read most of my life, including Kipling himself.

SF authors offering stories inspired by Kipling.

A mixed bag, but worth the read.
