Critic Reviews

“Lightspeed editor Adams provides an outstanding print anthology of stories collected during the online SF magazine’s first year. These stories make it clear why Adams and the magazine have already separately been nominated for Hugo Awards.”

(Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Lightspeed: Year One is a testament to how much science fiction remains relevant to our lives and our imaginations.”
