It includes a story by Janet Kagan, so you should read it. OK, it has a Terry Bisson story too. It's predictable but charming. Heald is also the author of the novel Mistwalker, which I enjoyed.
Misfits struggle through a hostile alien jungle on a survey mission.
The characters and setting have quite a bit of depth, which leads me to wonder if Kepner's writing a novel in this setting. I'd buy it. I'd like to read more of Dodge's stuff. This collection is worth reading for those stories. There were also a handful of stories that I disliked because they were too dry, too dull, too amateurish, or just not worth the time it took to read them.
