A strong issue overall with Robert Reed's "Truth" as easily the best story.

"The Erdmann Nexus" - Nancy Kress 3/5
Senior citizens begin forming a group consciousness. A little too cute for my taste.
"Truth" - Robert Reed 5/5
An interrogator attempts to gain information from a captured terrorist time traveler. Nice psychological story with a great ending.
"Defending Elysium" - Brandon Sanderson 3.5./5
A group of humans with psychic powers attempts to slow humanity's spread into a galactic society of technologically inferior, but mentally powerful aliens. Interesting concept, but the almost limitless mental powers made it feel more like a pulp story.
"The English Mutiny" - Ian R. MacLeod 4/5
Revolt in an alternate England that was conquered by India. An original alternate history and interesting ideas about power.
"Dhuluma No More" - Gord Sellar 4/5
African terrorists seek retribution for the effects of climate change.
"Listening for Submarines" - Peter Higgins 3/5
In the 1980's, an analyst at a Navy listening post hears the sounds of something mystical in the ocean. Good, but without any real resolution.
"Prayers for an Egg" - Sarah Genge 3/5
Master/servant interactions in an alien culture where the the servant is part of a three-way reproductive process
"Money Is No Object" - Leslie What 3/5
A magic purse brings problems
"Cat in the Rain" - Jack Skillingstead 2/5
An alcoholic cop starts to have visions of an alien takeover. ( )
