The Good New Stuff: Adventure in Sf in the Grand Tradition (St Martin's Griffin)

Brief Description: Seventeen page-turning science fiction adventure stories by such luminaries as John Varley, Bruce Sterling, Vernor Vinge, George R. R. Martin, and Paul J. McAuley. Biographical Note: Gardner Dozois is the longtime editor of "Asimov's Science Fiction" magazine and of the annual "Year's Best Science Fiction" anthologies. He has been honored many times with the Hugo Award for best editor, and his own short fiction has garnered two Nebula Awards. He lives in Philadelphia. Review Quotes: "Dozois once again unites a magnificent gamut of epic storytellers into one volume that travels beyond the outermost galaxies and stirs the emotional foundations of the human condition."-- "Bookpage, on The Year's Best Science Fiction" "Dozois is to the 1980s and 1990s what John W. Campbell, Jr., was to the 1940s and 1950s-- the finest editor in the world of short SF."--"Publisher's Weekly"Publisher Marketing: Once the mainstay of science fiction, adventure stories fell out of favor during the 1960s and early 1970s. But in recent years, science fiction writers have spun out galaxy-spanning adventures as imaginative and wonderful as any of yesteryear's tales. Renowned editor Gardner Dozois assembles seventeen such escapades here, with stories from today's and tomorrow's finest writers. Review Citations:
