Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

I found each to be well written and well performed. However, this year the stories are notably more depressing, and unpleasant then the stories from previous years. I found the overall collection to be a real disappointment. Too bad.

very well done. the interview portion a nice touch. each story is read in perfect harmony matching the perspective of the story being presented.
to take note, 99.9% of all these stories have a melancholy feel to them. if you're looking for overtly cheerful or feel good stories this is not the place to find them. Though many of the stories are quite touching.
