The very far future: The galaxy is a drifting wreck of black holes, neutron stars, and chill white dwarfs. The age of star formation is long past. Yet there is life here, feeding off the energies of the stellar remnants, and there is mind, a tremendous galaxy-spanning intelligence each of whose thoughts lasts a hundred thousand years. And this mind cradles memories of a long-gone age when a more compact universe was full of light... The 27th century: Proxima Centauri, an undistinguished red dwarf star, is the nearest star to our sun. How would it be to live on such a world?

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

The urge to explore and discover is a natural and universal one, and the edge of the unknown is expanded with each passing year as scientific advancements inch us closer and closer to the outer reaches of our solar system and the galaxies beyond them. Generations of writers have explored these new frontiers and the endless possibilities they present in great detail. The Final Frontier delivers stories from across this literary spectrum, a reminder that the universe is far large and brimming with possibilities than we could ever imagine, as hard as we may try.

Resumen del Editor
Short novels may well be the perfect length for science-fiction stories. They are movie-length tales that resonate with moxie while fully exploring characters, new worlds, and ideas. The stories in this unabridged audio collection are the best-of-the-best short science-fiction novels published in 2010 by current and emerging masters of this form.
"Return to Titan," by Stephen Baxter, is set in the Xeelee universe. Michael Poole and his father search one of Saturn's moons for sentient life that would interfere with their plans to build a gateway to the stars.
In this year's Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award winner for best short fiction, "The Sultan of the Clouds," by Geoffrey A. Landis, a terraforming expert is inexplicably invited to Venus by the child who owns most of the planet's habitable floating cities.
"Seven Cities of Gold," by David Mole, tells the story of a Japanese relief worker charges with tracking down the renegade Christian leader responsible for fetonating a nuclear device in an Islam-occupied North American city.
In Jackie's-Boy," by Steven Popkes, an orphaned child befriends an uplifted elephant from the abandoned St. Louis Zoo as they trek south across a sparsely populated North America to find sanctuary.
"A History of Terraforming," by Robert Reed, involves a young boy's ambition to take up his father's work of terraforming Mars and then much of the solar system and discovers that much more than planets have been altered.
In "Troika," by Alastair Reynolds, the lone survivor of a mission that explores a massive alien object attempts to reveal what he discovered despite the wishes of the Second Soviet Union. Set in the author's S'hdonni universe,
"Several Items of Interest," by Rick Wilber, the Earth ruling aliens enlist a human collaborator to help quell a human rebellion led by the collaborator's brother.

Historia
When 17-year-old Toby McGonigal finds himself lost in space, separated from his family, he expects his next drift into cold sleep to be his last. After all, the planet he' s orbiting is frozen and sunless, and the cities are dead. But when Toby wakes again, he' s surprised to discover a thriving planet, a strange and prosperous galaxy, and something stranger still - that he' s been asleep for 14,000 years. Welcome to the Lockstep Empire, where civilization is kept alive by careful hibernation. Here cold sleeps can last decades and waking moments mere weeks.

Historia
On June 30, 1908, an object fell from the sky, releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history - or something else. Alien artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered.

They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods.

Geoff and his friends live in Phocaea, a distant asteroid colony on the Solar System's frontier. They're your basic high-spirited young adults, enjoying such pastimes as hacking matter compilers to produce dancing skeletons that prance through the low-gee communal areas, using their rocket-bikes to salvage methane ice shrapnel that flies away when the colony brings in a big (and vital) rock of the stuff, and figuring out how to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance motes.

THE ABSENCE OF AMBITION IS THE ULTIMATE AMBITION
Their is a total of seven stories. I could give four stars to five of them, 2 stars to one and zero stars to one. It is unusual to have this many four star stories in such a collection, but it is also unusual to not have at least one excellent story. I bought this mostly for Robert Reed, who is the best short story writer in Science Fiction, ever. That includes Asimov and Clarke, who both I love. His story was not the best though, it was good, but I liked Jackie's Boy by Steven Popkes better. Baxter, Landis, and Reynolds also had good stories. If you are fans of these authors, then you may want this for these stories.
I looked up Kaster on the internet, it seems he is a fan, who has never written anything himself. These stories seem to have all been written in 2010. My guess is Kaster only gets to buy stories after Dozois, Horton, Adams and everyone else in the business have bought their stories. Dozois is by far the best. Audible should see if they can record his yearly anthology.
Did you know that even though this is titled The Year's Top Short SF Novels, you will not find it or most of the other SF anthologies in the category of Science Fiction/Fantasy Short Stories and Anthologies. While all other books can be found in three different cats, these have only made it to two. I e-mailed audible about this months ago, but I never heard back from them.

VERY unfortunate cover art but ok otherwise
I have several of the books in these "Year's Top Short SF Novels" series. Like all such books, you get some you will like, some you won't - a mixed bag. There are usually a few gems in all cases that make it worth it. The narration is always by the same folks, and is competent, for the most part.
I find the cover art bizarre. As though everyone reading is some teen boy and has to be titillated with "hot girl" pics that have ZERO to do with the content of the books. Sad. A little pathetic really. Particularly as some talented, established, award winning and serious SF writers contribute to these. It's surprising, as I think they'd be off-put by having their work represented in such a silly way.
Anyway, on the whole, this book has a few really well done stories, some adequate, some I wonder about. But it's worth it, I think, if you enjoy science fiction and short stories.

Not the best...mediocre
The amateur cover should have warned me the stories would be the same. Bloated with mundane dialog the stories failed to provide emotional interest. Visuals were also weak. Performances were often flat, lacking any dramatic feeling.
