- Summary:
- These thirty extraordinary works encompass the expanding universe of speculative fiction, including hard and soft science fiction, fantasy, horror, and experimental and conventional literary fiction. This is the province of the mind -- where the possibilities are endless and anything can happen. And these are the authors whose work has shaped the evolution of science fiction and will continue to influence the genre for years to come. From the universally acclaimed Pushcart Prize winner Ursula K. Le Guin to the master of alternate history Harry Turtledove, from promising newcomer Laura Whitton to bestselling veteran Larry Niven. Writers in the tradition of Asimov and Heinlein -- and in ways completely their own. Handpicked by Bram Stoker Award-winning editor Al Sarrantonio to revolutionize and galvanize the field of speculative fiction, the tales in Redshift span the spectrum of creative thought and expression and take readers into the future...
