Editorial Review:
Product Description:
An eclectic collection of all-original science fiction stories from some of the foremost luminaries in the genre. Featuring new tales of far future murder, first contact, love and war from such well-regarded and award winning authors as Peter F. Hamilton, Stephen Baxter, Adam Roberts, Jeffrey Thomas, Eric Brown, Paul Di Filippo, Neal Asher, Jay Lake and Ian Watson, this collection is sure to delight all fans of good science fiction. "A wide range of topics and diverse styles characterizes this enjoyable collection of science-fiction stories. While mediocre science fiction fails to work on any level other than the conceptual, the best of the stories in this new Solaris anthology successfully navigate both conceptual and emotional territory... Editor Mann has gathered a collection that should appeal to science-fiction buffs, and make a worthwhile introduction for novices. Stands as proof that science fiction is alive and well."Kirkus Discoveries, VNU US Literary Group

This is a collection of sixteen stories by some of the best BL & Solaris Publishing authors. No need to worry that you will read stories from unknown writers, hoping to make it in the tough world of publishing. These authors have already proven their worth, most in Warhammer, W40K, Punktown, or some other well known series. Here is a list of the authors with a story in this book, as well as the title of a book s/he is known for:

A new original Science Fiction anthology from an English publisher, which the table of contents does reflect.
Getting a book you want it to be above average, unfortunately this one doesn't quite get there. For 16 stories, this is about what I would expect to get that basic 3.5 out of 5 rating:
10 above average stories, 5 average, 1 below average.
However, we get 8 above average, 6 average and 2 below average, for a story mean score of 3.34. This gives an adjusted ... Read More

Purportedly a collection of unpublished stories by good SF writers. I recognize several of the authors, and can vouch for their having written first class fiction, but I found no evidence of it in this volume. When I read story collections, I give each story a reasonable number of page turns to hook me. If the story doesn't, I spit out the bait and move on. I have never (and I never say never) gone through any SF story collection without finding more than half that catch me. Sadly, not a one in this ... Read More

George Mann edits THE SOLARIS BOOK OF NEW SCIENCE FICTION, a fine short story collection featuring fine writers of the likes of Stephen Baxter, Eric Brown, Ian Watson and more. These stories explore the outer limits of the fantasy and sci fi genres, from a futuristic murder mystery to space opera - and all stories are original to this collection - a huge plus in a genre where reprints abound, making it a top pick any serious science fiction holding needs.

My criteria for endorsing anthologies is that I have to appreciate more than 50% of the stories inside, so I'm happy to report that I enjoyed 12 of the 16 stories in this volume, or 75%. Enough that I can heartily recommend it here.
Standouts for me include Paul Di Filippo's "Personal Jesus," which introduces us to the perfect combination of spirituality and technology, the godPod, "Zora and the Land Ethic Nomads" which returns us to Mary Turzillo's Mars of indentured homesteaders, and James ... Read More
