Publishers Weekly review of Science Fiction: The Best of the Year, 2007 Edition:

Returning for his second stint editing Prime’s annual SF compilation, Horton is faced with a daunting task, at which he doesn’t entirely succeed. Out of a dozen stories, the few inspired selections include Robert Reed’s gritty “A Billion Eves,” where exploring an infinite number of parallel universes is a godsend for some polygamous pilgrims but a decidedly dire prospect for others; Carolyn Ives Gilman’s “Okanoggan Falls,” in which a rural Wisconsin hamlet must fend off alien invaders, who have scheduled it for demolition; and Ann Leckie’s “Hesperia and Glory,” a witty homage of sorts to Edgar Rice Burroughs.
