Review Quotes:
"Features noteworthy SF and fantasy stories from a bumper crop of talented new authors. Four new Enderverse stories from Card will initially draw genre fans, but the stories from lesser-known writers are the compilation's real driving force. James Maxey's provocative 'To Know All Things That Are in the Earth' takes a decidedly skeptical look at the Rapture; David Farland's 'The Mooncalfe' puts an interesting--and unique--spin on oft-trod Arthurian legend; and Tom Barlow's brilliantly sardonic 'Call Me Mr. Positive' explores isolation on a deep-space mission gone tragically awry. If the quality of these stories is any indication, IGMS has as much promise as the newcomers it showcases."
