A virtual smorgasbord of who's who in this anthology of space colonization, but you shouldn't just look at the authors, take special note of the amazing editor Bryan Thomas Schmidt as well. Smart and savvy, Bryan seeks out work that defines the enthusiasm that still resides in the hearts of many folks around the world (but that many space programs have forgotten about). The human spirit is want to drive itself forward, to "seek out" potential. Beyond the Sun is exactly that, and it is more. It i...
"Migration," by Nancy KressI received a copy of Beyond the Sun because I backed the kickstarter and I popped it onto my Kobo over the week. This is the first story, and it has everything good about science fiction. A brilliant setting, a character with depth and layers revealed as the story progresses, an edge of social commentary, and - frankly - adorable fuzzy aliens!Seriously.

I'm realy starting to get into sci-fi books and this book has a lot of it in one. The book is a nice mixture of veteran sci-fi writers and newcomers alike, all writing towards the same goal.I'm not sure how to review each and every story seperate, all I can say is that I'm glad I was offered a chance to read this book.I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
I've read it and enjoyed each and every story in it. You won't be disappointed with this anthology. It is much fun.
I got this book through the FirstReads program and I was excited to see what would make it into this collection. I'm not usually a big sci-fi reader. Fantasy is more my thing, but I enjoy sci-fi as a genre onscreen, so I thought I might see some fun stuff.Overall, the collection felt boring and stale. There were a few moments when the creativity really shone through, but I stalled out a few stories from the end because they just weren't grabbing my attention.I'm grateful for the chance to try so...
A solid anthology of alien worlds with some excellent stories. The best are by Nancy Kress and Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Other standouts come from Jamie Todd Rubin and Autumn Rachel Dryden. There are a few disappointing stories but overall this is a worthwhile addition to any SF library.
