This was a mixed bag, but nothing was bad and there were a few gems included. My favorites turned out to be the last two: "Regressions" by Swapna Kishore and short and funny "Dancing on the Red Planet" by Berit Ellingsen.

This is the 3rd volume in a collection of science fiction and fantasy short stories by authors not from America. This is a nice glimpse into the much larger world of sci-fi/fantasy authors from around the world and gives you a look at how other cultures influence the stories and concepts explored by these authors. I enjoyed several of the stories, although a few were a bit outside of my preferred style. I truly enjoyed some of the Asian style sci-fi and will look for more to explore. After having the opportunity to read this volume I may go back and get the previous two volumes to see what I've missed.
