The novel winner, novella winner, and novella nominees are represented by excerpts. The non-winning nominees for best novel and one of the nominees for best short story (Richard Fox's "Going Dark") are omitted. [2] [3] [4]
John ONeill on blackgate.com notes "The Nebula Awards Showcase is one of the most auspicious and long running anthology series in science fiction" and that "[t]his year's volume ... hews pretty close to tradition ... and contains as many of last year's Nebula Award winners and nominees as they could cram between two covers." He highlights the fact that "[i]t's edited by a rising star in the industry" and "is unusual in that it's the first to be published directly by SFWA (technically SFWA, Inc, which as far as I know was created solely to publish this book."
