Galactic Empire #1
Galactic Empires
The first stepping stones is Mars, then the plumed beauty of the winged planet, the telepathic wizardry of a world yearning to bestow utopia upon earthlings, the hospital plant that dispenses immortality to space Gods, and finally, the foundation is laid atop the rubble of fallen star systems - an Empire, vast and glorious, stretching from galactic horizon to the oracle planet of the future... Terminus.
Shaped by a unique vision, GLACTIC EMPIRES is a brilliant mosaic of a quarter century of the best writing in science fiction. It is both a chronicle of man's outward move from Earth and a collection of fourteen original views of space conquest. Volume One tells of galactic war and the rise of an Empire, Volume Two follows the Empire's destiny and man's ultimate destiny in space...
