Let me qualify this by saying that sci-fi romances are definitely not my jam, and there were far too many of them included in my opinion. I like a little variety in my short story anthologies, but I wasn't super thrilled with this one. There were a few exceptions: Mr. Gaiman' contribution was delightful, as always, and the Outlander story was also pretty good. There were a couple of others -like Peter S. Beagle's Her-esque tale - that I enjoyed, but not enough to make this a keeper.
