   Book Review

From Booklist
Like Women Writing Science Fiction as Men (2003), Resnick's new challenge anthology ("Hey, buddy, write a story from the perspective of a woman!") yields results ranging from silly to genuinely touching, about everything from space exploration to a crazy cat-lady who is actually the AI in charge of a major skyscraper. In "The New Breed," Michael A. Burstein writes about alien invaders and plans to breed stronger humans in response. Tom Gerencer's "Not Quite Immaculate" touts an intriguing high-tech method of stowing away: reducing people to zygotes (to restore them, just accelerate pregnancy and growth). Dean Wesley Smith's time-travel tale "Mom's Paradox" stands the I-am-my-own-grandpa gambit on its head by having a time traveler ensure that she will be born. All in all, a satisfying collection, however tenuous the glue of its theme. Regina Schroeder

Book Description
First came Women Writing Science Fiction as Men, which was a homage to the early days of the science fiction genre, when it was a given that the writers and their readers were men and any woman writing science fiction had to hide her true identity. Now, in this all-new collection of nineteen stories by top male writers, the men are getting a chance to see if they can meet the challenge of successfully writing as women.

Stories by Barry N. Malzberg, Robert J. Sawyer, Ralph Roberts, Robert Sheckley, Jack Dann, David Gerrold, Frank M. Robinson, Dean Wesley Smith, and others
