Infinite Stars: The Definitive Anthology of Space Opera and Military SF

Hugo Award-nominated editor Schmidt has gathered 24 stories from some of the most popular authors in space opera and military sf. Many selections are reprints, such as the novella "Borders of Infinity" from Lois McMaster Bujold's "Vorkosigan Saga," Nnedi Okorafor's marvelous novella "Binti," or Leigh Brackett and Edmond Hamilton's final Stark story, "Stark and the Star Kings." Others are original contributions, often filling in gaps in their author's most popular series, including a "Skolian" story from Catherine Asaro, a "Dune" tale from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, a "Revelation Space" entry from Alastair Reynolds, and Orson Scott Card's "Renegat," which features Ender Wiggins in his role as speaker for the dead. The preference of series entries over stand-alone stories guarantees that readers unfamiliar with these books will get a tantalizing taste of the introduced universes.
