Between Worlds

Between Worlds

Donato Giancola
0/5 ( ratings)

One of the great themes of science fiction is the exploration of other worlds in our galaxy and beyond. As Robert Silverberg writes in his introduction to Between Worlds, “an essentially infinite universe offers essentially infinite scope for the imagination.” Traveling distant realms of time and space, storytellers design vast interstellar and planetary landscapes, assemble alien anatomies and cultures, and grapple with astonishing new ideas — following the laws of science, of course.

For this volume — an SFBC creation — Silverberg asked some of today’s best sf writers to take a fresh look at this inexhaustible theme, and they came up with a collection of dazzlingly original tales. All the novellas here encapsulate the star-faring theme with an intriguing twist: characters in transit between worlds are undergoing internal transitions as well.
