When James Patrick Kelly won the Hugo Award with "Think Like a Dinosaur", I thought "That's it. Fun's over. It's all downhill from here. There's no way he can improve upon this modern classic." Then he wrote wrote "10 to the 16 to 1" and proved me incredibly wrong. This is not just a science fiction story, it's a story about science fiction, about how it sucks us in at the Golden Age of 11 or 12 and never wants to let go. It's about the wonders that skiffy holds, the promise that anything is possible. It's also a story about an accidental first contact, and the consequences that follow. Kelly is a wonderfully gifted writer, and this is another modern masterpiece. By the way, this story also snagged a Hugo. -Jason Lundberg, Fictionwise Recommender
