This reviewer now understands G-Force as simply Gorman and Greenberg combining their immense talents on unsuspecting readers by providing the best anthologies. The latest collection provides the audience with over forty short stories from the wide gamut of sub-genres that makes up the mystery realm. Almost all the contributions are superb as many of the genre’s top guns provided an entry. There is also several articles providing understanding of the state of the genre in the year 2000 including insight into the status in several nations. This reviewer split her time by reading one of the eight articles for every five fictionalized stories because bluntly though the accounts are interesting; it is the fiction that draws the reader including moi. G-Force has succeeded once gain with an engaging collection that genre fans will enjoy because the stories are entertaining and the articles fascinating with where we have been and where we seem to be going.
