What might we run into as we expand beyond Earth and into the stars? As we explore our own solar system and beyond, it seems inevitable that we’ll run into aliens ... and what they’ve left behind. Alien artifacts: what might they reveal about us as we try to unlock their secrets? What might they reveal about the universe? In this anthology, nineteen of today’s leading science fiction and fantasy authors explore how discovering long lost relics of alien civilizations might change humanity. Join Walter H. Hunt, Julie Novakova, David Farland, Angela Penrose, S.C. Butler, Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin, Juliet E. McKenna, Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Andrija Popovic, Jacey Bedford, Sofie Bird, James Van Pelt, Gini Koch, Anthony Lowe, Jennifer Dunne, Coral Moore, Daniel J. Davis, C.S.

Mehso-so

Not bad. Wide assortment of stories, from naively hopeful to bitterly pessimistic. The two I liked best were by authors I already knew; Lee & Miller's made me want to see more in that universe, Seanan McGuire's made me mad - no fair, who put them in charge? And the confusion quotient. Hmph. Both, along with several others, will keep me thinking about them for a while. No wonderful stories, no poorly-written ones. Glad I read it.
