Colonists take to the stars to discover new planets, new sentient
beings, and build new lives for themselves and their families. Some
travel years to find their destination, while others travel a year
or less. Some discover a planet that just might be paradise, while
others find nothing but unwelcoming aliens and terrain. It's not
just a struggle for territory but a struggle for understanding as
cultures clash, disasters occur, danger lurks and lives are at
risk. Eighteen stories of space colonists by both leading and up
and coming science fiction writers of today. Mike Resnick spins a
tale of aliens who find Earth future diverse and surprising as they
plan an invasion. Grandmaster Robert Silverberg examines what
happens when Jews tired of fighting for their homeland start over
on a planet then must deal with a dybbuk (spirit) and aliens who
wish to convert to Judaism. Autumn Rachel Dryden has colonists
threatened by alien animals which burst out of shells on the ground
like piranhas ready to feed on flesh. Jason Sanford has Amish
colonists on New Amsterdam finding their settlement and way of life
threatened by a comet and the English settlers who want to evacuate
them. And a new story from Hugo and Nebula-winner Nancy Kress.
