Eleven science fiction stories from noted authors exploring some of their most popular worlds.The universe of the mind is a limitless expanse of wonders, filled with worlds and secrets that cannot be fully explored within the pages of a single novel. Here, science fiction''s most beloved and highly honored writers revisit their best-known worlds in perhaps the greatest concentration of science fiction ever in one volume.Featuring stories by:- Ursula K. Le Guin- Joe Halderman- Orson Scott Card- David Brin- Robert Silverberg- Dan Simmons- Nancy Kress- Frederik Pohl- Gregory Benford- Anne McCaffrey- Greg BearPraise for Far Horizons"Editor Silverberg here does for science fiction series what he did for fantasy sagas in Legends: Stories by the Masters of Modern Fantasy by presenting eleven noted authors of famous series, each exploring some aspect of theirs that they did not find a way of dealing with in the books of the series proper. . . . The stories remain true to their universes and characters, so they deliver good first-contact experiences for series novices as well as happy reading for longtime fans." —Booklist"A sampler of the best of the genre. Highly recommended for series fans and newcomers alike and a good choice for most sf collections." —Library Journal"An ideal combination of the reassuringly familiar and the excitingly new: should prove as popular as its fantasy predecessor." —Kirkus Reviews
