"The most imaginative editor in the field."--"The Village Voice"
"Dozois is to the 1980s and 1990s what John W. Campbell, Jr., was to the 1940s and 1950s-the finest editor in the world of short SF."-"Publishers Weekly "

Product Description
Distant planets, galaxies, alien races--the universe is vast and filled with an almost unimaginable range of possibilities. But imagine it we can. Here are more than twenty stories from the most inventive writers in the field, including:
Poul Anderson * Stephen Baxter * Greg Bear * Gregory Benford * Arthur C. Clarke * Hal Clement * Greg Egan * H. B. Fyfe * R. A. Lafferty * Geoffrey A. Landis * Ursula K. Le Guin * Jack McDevitt * Larry Niven * G. David Nordley * Edgar Pangborn * Kim Stanley Robinson * James H. Schmitz * Cordwainer Smith * Michael Swanwick * James Tiptree, Jr. * John Varley * Vernor Vinge
These are the stories of discovering those possibilities-the stories of the explorers and pioneers who push the envelope further out--exciting tales of alien landscapes and adventures on far distant shores that are the heart and soul of science fiction.

Have space suit will travel!
28 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
This anthology gives the reader a chance to see how "space travel" science fiction has evolved through five decades. The 23 stories are in chronological order based on their respective publishing dates. They are samplings from the 1950's-1990's. Each selection is prefaced with a short introduction to why it was included. If you like old-fashioned science fiction, the kind I remember from the 65 cent paperbacks I saved up my allowance for, then this is for you. Open it and settle down for a few trips to places you only dreamed about when you were young and innocent.

The Best
18 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a collection that will never fail you. I've only had it for one day, and already I've missed a night's sleep reading some of the greatest writers to ever put pen to paper. I particularly liked that the editor didn't just stop with the early seventies, but re-printed some of the good old stuff from writers like Clarke. A real edition to your library, and something I cannot recommend too highly.
