Nebula Awards 33 is an anthology of science fiction short works edited by Connie Willis.
[1] The book collects pieces that won or were nominated for the Nebula Awards for best novel, novella, novelette and short story for the year 1999, profiles of 1998 Author Emeritus Nelson Bond and 1998 Grand Master award winner Poul Anderson with representative early stories by them, and various other nonfiction pieces related to the awards, together with the Rhysling Award-winning poems for 1997 and an introduction by the editor.
Kirkus Reviews called the anthology's fiction "[t]errific," singling out McIntyre's novel as "splendid historical fantasy", the finalist pieces as "impressive", and the Anderson selection as "typically brilliant".
The reviewer has "a Bronx cheer for the nonfiction," however, characterizing them as a "thumping disappointment... just anodyne scraps (the redoubtable Kim Stanley Robinson honorably excepted)".
It also notes the omission of both Bill Warren's film criticism and any obituaries, given the 1997 passings of Jerome Bixby, Judith Merrill, and George Turner.
