NEW starred review from Publisher's Weekly:
Space opera iscelebrated in this capacious anthology with stories from a stellarlineup of its best contemporary practitioners. The 24 selections--whichinclude classics from luminaries such as Robert Silverberg (who alsocontributes an informative historical introduction), Anne McCaffrey,Poul Anderson, and Cordwainer Smith, as well as 15 works original tothis volume--illustrate the wide variety of themes that space opera canaccommodate: galactic empire building across space and time in LeighBrackett and Edmond Hamilton's "Stark and the Star Kings"; the peculiarlives of extraterrestrial fauna in Orson Scott Card's "Renegat" (a newepisode in his long-running Ender saga); interstellar piracy inElizabeth Moon's "All in a Day's Work"; cultural identity in NnediOkorafor's Hugo-winning "Binti"; and military adventures (a staple ofthe subgenre) in stories by Lois McMaster Bujold, David Drake, andBennett R. Coles. Although these short stories don't always have thesweep and scope of novel-length works, the new episodes of severalseries...will make this book irresistible to space opera enthusiasts.
