  1. The Year’s Best Military & Adventure SF 2015: Volume 2 edited by David Afsharirad – David Drake’s Hammers Slammers story was voted by purchasers as the best story of the anthology.

  2. Because of all the recs at File 770, I’ve already read most of these stories. I used to buy one or more of these collections every year to get the best of the year before. Now I’ll have to go through and see if any have enough stories that I don’t already have or have read to justify buying the collection. A high class problem! ?

  3. Just to be really confusing, the Dozois The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Third Annual Collection is called the Mammoth Book of Best New SF 29 in the UK…

    We get both versions, so one year, I got really confused because even though it had a different title, the anthology I bought had identical contents to another anthology I recently purchased. I have learnt better.
