Here’s how the contributor list reads to me:
Brian ALDISS * Jacqueline CAREY * Arthur C. CLARKE * William C. DIETZ * David DRAKE * Lynn FLEWELLING * Esther M. FRIESNER * David “Where’s my damn Chtorr book” GERROLD * Joe HALDEMAN * Brian HERBERT & Kevin J. ANDERSON * Nina Kiriki HOFFMAN * Tim LEBBON * Kinley MacGREGOR (Sherrilyn KENYON) * Juliet MARILLIER * Syne MITCHELL * Larry NIVEN * Eric NYLUND * Stel PAVLOU * Adam ROBERTS * Steven SAVILE * Sharon SHINN * Michael Marshall SMITH * Martha WELLS * Michael WHELAN * Sean WILLIAMS & Shane DIX * Janny WURTS
Just Wells & Smith would get me to buy it. Everything else, including the charity factor, is gravy.
