Timeless space opera adventures from Jack Vance, Ursula K. Le Guin, Poul Anderson, and others, complied by "the most imaginative editor in SF today" (The Village Voice).

Nineteen-ninety-nine looms near and yet the stars are still far away... but this anthology brings them closer with more than a dozen of the best SF adventure stories ever written. Among the gems collected here are "The New Prime," by Jack Vance, Fritz Leiber's "Moon Duel," and "The Sky People," by Poul Anderson, along with masterpieces by less-familiar names such as Murray Leinster and James H. Schmitz.

With more than a dozen stories (written between 1940 and 1970) from greats such as Brian W. Aldiss, Leigh Brackett, L. Sprague de Camp, and A. E. van Vogt, this anthology ranges throughout our galaxy and into the stars. Whether you're revisiting the classics or discovering these stories for the first time, you're sure to thrill to these wonderful adventures across the vast expanse of space.
