Product Description
Product Description
An eclipse is a rare and unusual event, when the world is transformed and the sky becomes a dark eldritch thing. It's a time when anything could happen, when any kind of story just might be true. That sense of the strange and wonderful guides Eclipse: New Science Fiction and Fantasy, the second volume in an exciting new annual anthology series edited by acclaimed anthologist Jonathan Strahan. Set to become a major event on the science fiction and fantasy calendar, Eclipse: New Science Fiction and Fantasy gathers together new science fiction and fantasy stories by the best writers working today. You can see that in Eclipse Two, which features more extraordinary tales of the fantastic and astounding.

Superb showcase of cutting-edge SF and fantasy, Mar 10 2009
By Nick Gevers "vermoulian" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eclipse 2: New Science Fiction and Fantasy (Paperback)
Jonathan Strahan's anthologies always exhibit his impeccable taste and--just as importantly!--his ability to get the best writers to deliver their best work for the occasion. In *Eclipse Two*, major tales by Ted Chiang, Terry Dowling, Alastair Reynolds, Margo Lanagan, Jeffrey Ford, and many others indicate just how dynamic and innovative short SF and fantasy still can be. Galactic empires, near-future dystopias, superhero satires, post-cyberpunk capers, ghost stories...it's all here.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent collection, Nov 4 2009
By E. N Ritchie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eclipse 2: New Science Fiction and Fantasy (Paperback)
Ted Chiang's 'Exhalation' would be enough reason to buy this book on it's own (I highly recommend his collection 'Stories of your life'), that it's accompanied by stories that compare well with it is a delight.
This is a very good anthology of modern SF/Fantasy short stories. I don't seek out Fantasy, it doesn't interest me, but I did enjoy the quality of writing in this collection.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not nearly as good as the first one, May 26 2010
By Richard C. Drew "Anaal Nathra/Uthe vas Bethod... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eclipse 2: New Science Fiction and Fantasy (Paperback)
Having read Eclipse and finding many great short stories, I was looking forward to this sequel. It was a huge disappointment. Some of the stories were nary unreadable. None really stood out. It was a struggle to finish - and I read 8 books that week.
If they publish an Eclipse Three, I'll skip it.
