Book Description

Publication Date: February 16, 2009

New stories written as if during science fiction's Golden Age. Far off planets, aliens, time travel, retro-future technologies and rocket ships with fins. Golden Age stories by Stephen Baxter, Terry Bisson, Terry Bramlett, Tobias S. Buckell, Tom Dupree, James Gunn, Max Habilis, Paul E. Martens, Will McDermott, G. David Nordley, Alan Purestem, Mike Resnick, Rudy Rucker, Robert Sheckley, Justin Stanchfield and Trent Walters, presented by Hadley Rille Books, Edited by Eric T. Reynolds. The Golden Age: that fascinating era when science fiction grew up.

From the twenty-first century we travel back to the Golden Age and imagine the future again, as the dreamers did.

This review is from: Golden Age SF: Tales of a Bygone Future (Hardcover)

These stories are the reason I fell in love with SF in the first place. If the following names mean anything to you, buy this book; Kuttner, Simak, Clarke, Asimov, "Doc" Smith. If they don't, buy the book anyway and give yourself a treat (then go buy books by those quoted above).
