Product Overview
Across distant planets, forgotten colonies, and the vast distances between stars, humanity encounters forces it cannot hope to control. Explorers visit a world whose people have made an unsettling peace with the land itself; a hard-bitten captain finds a derelict spaceship adrift for the taking; and pioneers, soldiers, fugitives, and rebels all face the costs of survival at the edge of human civilization.
From tense spacegoing adventures to strange encounters with unhuman intelligence, these 23 stories explore new universes and compelling characters where greed, fear, bravery, loyalty, and wonder shape every choice. Each new tale opens onto a future at once technological and primitive, vast in scale yet intensely personal...and hugely compelling.
