Now thirteen of today's top authors blaze new pathways to worlds beyond imagination from: a civilization of humans living in a Dyson sphere to whom the idea of living on a planet is pure mythology... to an ancient man so obsessed with an alien legend that he will risk ship and crew in the Void in the hopes of proving it true... to the story of the last free segments of "humanity," forced to retreat to the very edge of the galaxy in the hope of finding a way to save themselves when there is nowhere left to run...
