Praise for Far Horizons

“Editor Silverberg here does for science fiction series what he did for fantasy sagas in Legends: Stories by the Masters of Modern Fantasy by presenting eleven noted authors of famous series, each exploring some aspect of theirs that they did not find a way of dealing with in the books of the series proper. . . . The stories remain true to their universes and characters, so they deliver good first-contact experiences for series novices as well as happy reading for longtime fans.” —Booklist

“A sampler of the best of the genre. Highly recommended for series fans and newcomers alike and a good choice for most sf collections.” —Library Journal

“An ideal combination of the reassuringly familiar and the excitingly new: should prove as popular as its fantasy predecessor.” —Kirkus Reviews
