Explorers: SF Adventures to Far Horizons

by Gardner Dozois (Editor), Poul Anderson, Stephen Baxter

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,

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.

[Samantha Holloway · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fantastic collection of lesser-known stories from famous and classic writers-- most of them from the Golden Age of SciFi. It's bright, interesting, weird, amazing, and full of that idea that we can go there, we can do anything. It's what I think of when I think of SciFi.

[Jon Pennycook · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good collection covering 1950s-1990s, including many of my favourite authors, especially during the 80s and 90s. One story is from Interzone magazine from back when it was great. Obviously one of the Arthur C Clarke stories was from Playboy.
