The Last Hurrah of the Golden Horde is the first collection of science fiction stories by author Norman Spinrad.

[1] The Last Hurrah of the Golden Horde placed eighth in the Locus Poll for best SF anthology or collection of the year.

Budrys concluded that "alarmingly, it's taking Spinrad a very long time to stop synthesizing and start speaking with his own voice.
