Perfect for you if...

You want the sprawling, idea-packed space opera and alien-world stories that made you fall in love with SF in the first place.
You're curious about contemporary SF writers but find modern anthologies too literary or experimental for your taste.
You appreciate editors who curate rather than compile. Dozois hand-picked these from today's best, and it shows.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer tightly focused character studies or intimate stories over plot-driven spectacle.
You're looking for a single narrative arc. Anthologies require mental gear-shifting between seventeen different worlds.
You dislike older-style pacing and exposition. Even recent work here echoes the Golden Age of pulp.

About this book

This collection assembles seventeen science fiction adventure stories from contemporary writers. The stories evoke the style of classic pulp science fiction, a genre that fell out of favor during the 1960s and early 1970s but has seen a resurgence in recent years. Editor Gardner Dozois gathers works from Stephen Baxter, Tony Daniel, R. Garcia y Robertson, Peter F. Hamilton, Janet Kagan, George R. R. Martin, Paul J. McAuley, Maureen F. McHugh, G. David Nordley, Robert Reed, Mary Rosenblum, Bruce Sterling, Michael Swanwick, George Turner, John Varley, Vernor Vinge, and Walter Jon Williams. The stories feature alien landscapes, imaginative worlds, unfamiliar forms of life, and explorations of the human experience. They demonstrate that science fiction writers continue to produce galaxy-spanning adventures comparable to those of earlier eras.
