There are nine rockets on this cover and, you know, that's not nearly enough. Every writer in this book is a rocket in science fiction circles. Some very well known, plying established routes regularly between stars. Others, soon to achieve orbit. But all having talent recognized by Mike Resnick, who has won several (and is often nominated for more) of another kind of rocket, the Hugo award for best science fiction story. Put Mr. Resnick together with other talented writers and wonderful things happen. In this book are twenty-one such flights blasting marvelously beyond warp speed, through hyperspace barriers, and ...well, now you know why there are so many rockets on the cover. SO open this book, you are in for a starfleet of treats!
