April RUSALKA by C.J. Cherryh
I missed this.
A THUNDER ON NEPTUNE by Gordon Eklund
And this. I had no idea he was still writing this late.
[I think this was his most recent novel to date]
ORBITAL DECAY by Allen Steele (Alternate)
As I recall this is about pot-smoking deadheads in orbit vs an eville MilIndustial Plot: Who Will Win? Not a huge fan of Steelen I am afraid.
[Huh. He's been getting published for a quarter century now?]
PIERS ANTHONY'S VISUAL GUIDE TO XANTH by Piers Anthony and Jody Lynn Nye (Alternate)
Never saw this. Art stuff?
RETIEF! By Jan Strnad and Dennis Fujitake (Enclosure)
Huh. Missed this but I collected a Strnd's comic, title forgotten, back before he had a vowel in his name. If I had seen this I would have bought it.
Mid-April THE RENEGADES OF PERN by Anne McCaffrey
Missed this.
SOURCERY by Terry Pratchett
In which we learn why eighth sons of eighth sons should not have more than seven kids, as I recall. Mildly amusing.
REDSHIFT RENDEZVOUS by John E. Stith
Missed this.

Another anthology of classic sword and sorcery stories I never
read.
THE GREEN HILLS OF EARTH by Robert A. Heinlein
I can't seem to find a contents list on this. It is a collection of Future History short stories, though, a subset of The Past Through
Tomorrow.
Spring THE PRICE OF VICTORY (3-in-1 of AFTERMATH, UNEASY ALLIANCES and
STEALER'S SKY) edited by Robert Lynn Asprin and Lynn Abbey
No idea.
PRECIOUS CARGO by Joe Clifford Faust
Another space opera by Faust that left no impression.
The New Hugo Winners: Award-Winning Science Fiction Stories ed. Isaac
Asimov & Martin H. Greenberg (Wynwood 0-922066-21-3, Dec '89
[Nov '89], $17.95, 320pp, hc); Anthology of nine stories, the

I hope this is the right Hugo Winners collection. I've stuffed a little review in there of the one story I recall that I had not previously reviewed.
ALAMUT by Judith Tarr (Alternate)
I missed this.
May HYPERION CANTOS (2-in-1 of HYPERION and THE FALL OF HYPERION) by Dan
Simmons
n the first volume a series of SF stories, told in a format roughly modeled on Canterbury Tales, sketch out an interesting SF setting. In the second we are supplied with enough information to show that the questions were more interesting than the answers.
[Which, to be honest, is often the case in fiction and rarely the case in real life]
THE DARK HAND OF MAGIC by Barbara Hambly
I missed this.
WILD CARDS VI: ACE IN THE HOLE edited by George R.R. Martin (Alternate)
No individual credits available. To be honest I am not sure what happens in this one. Could this be the murder mystery one, in which the death of a Jokertown information merchant is solved?
SORCERESS OF DARSHIVA by David Eddings (Alternate)
I missed this.
June THE NEW SPRINGTIME by Robert Silverberg
And this. Or possibly read it and forgot it.
MIGHTY GOOD ROAD by Melissa Scott
And this.
SASSINAK by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon (Alternate)
But this I picked up because I hoped to like Moon's work. Fairly dire stuff that drove me away by page 50. At least it shows McCaffrey was involved in the the writing process.
DRAGON WING by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman (Alternate)
Missed this.
VISIONS OF SPACE compiled by David A. Hardy (Enclosure)
And this.

And all of these.

This is one of those Important Collections, for those of us of a certain age. I got this as a reprint in the 1970s but it was originally done in the 1940s, just after the War, and marks the invention of the reprint anthology, as I recall. An amazing collection, highly recommended.
THE DEVIL'S DAY by James Blish
Black Easter and the sequel, presented as one book. The first
book treats Revelations as propaganda, with the veracity issues that raises
closely examined. The second book deals with the consequences. Recommended.

This is one of those Important Collections, for those of us of a certain age. I got this as a reprint in the 1970s but it was originally done in the 1940s, just after the War, and marks the invention of the reprint anthology, as I recall. An amazing collection, highly recommended.
THE DEVIL'S DAY by James Blish
Black Easter and the sequel, presented as one book. The first
book treats Revelations as propaganda, with the veracity issues that raises
closely examined. The second book deals with the consequences. Recommended.
