Bewildering Stories’
Annual Review, 2010

The Mariner Awards: issues 366-412

“The place to be at Bewildering Stories”

The launch of Mariner 2 to Venus, August 27, 1962

This Annual Review revives the old Certificate of Merit as the Mariner Awards, named for one of the first successful interplanetary missions. The 65 works listed — out of 412 for the year — are the crème de la crème, the ones that the Review Board rated “very good” or “excellent” in 2010. They have earned Bewildering Stories’ most signal honor.

We’re sure that all readers can cite titles they’d like to add to these lists; fair enough. But we’re also confident they’ll find, upon review, nothing they would omit.

The Annual Review is divided into genres, like the Quarterly Reviews. However, we want to keep everything on one page, for your convenience. The titles are listed as in the Quarterly Reviews: alphabetically by author, with multiple titles in chronological order.

Everything in green is a link. Links open in a new window, so you won’t lose your place.

Only the Review Board’s selections are listed here. Since the Departments are selected by the Managing Editor, they remain in the Quarterly Reviews.

A pdf file of the 2010 Mariner Awards is available for download.
