Isaac Asimov's Tomorrow's Voices

An original anthology whose contents were drawn from the inventory of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. The stories were selected by Shawna McCarthy from material purchased by Kathleen Moloney. It was never so plainly stated, but it is presumed that this book was McCarthy's way of dumping that portion of her predecessor's inventory that she didn't care to use in the magazine.
