Stephen Baxter's all-time top ten stories

I read Stephen Baxter's SF module for the BBC site Get Writing, Writing Science Fiction, ages ago. But revisiting it today I rediscovered his top ten SF short stories as below....

  • James Blish - Surface Tension (1952)
  • Arthur C Clarke - The Nine Billion Names of God (1953)
  • Isaac Asimov - Eyes Do More Than See (1965)
  • Robert Heinlein - All You Zombies (1959)
  • Philip K Dick - War Veteran (1954)
  • Ray Bradbury - Frost and Fire (1946)
  • Robert Sheckley - Ask a Foolish Question (1953)
  • Ian R MacLeod - Snodgrass (1992)
  • Eric Brown - The Time-Lapsed Man (1988)
  • Philip Latham - Xi Effect (1950)

Unfortunately only one of them has an official publication online. A few of the others have been typed in by people but I won't link to them because I have no idea if they are accurate.
