and Stephen D. Covey's "The Road to NPS," and from the grandiose
vision of Alastair Reynolds' "Vainglory" to the workaday
familiarity of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's "Safety Tests," the
thirteen stories in this anthology span the whole of the human
condition in their race to colonise Earth's nearest neighbours.

A. Corey, John Barnes, Stephen Baxter, Kristine Kathryn Rusch,

Building Towards Tomorrow Sense of wonder is the lifeblood of
science fiction. When we encounter something on a truly staggering
scale - metal spheres wrapped around stars, planets rebuilt and
repurposed, landscapes re-engineered, starships bigger than worlds
- the only response we have is reverence, admiration, and possibly
fear at something that is grand, sublime, and extremely powerful.
Bridging Infinity puts humanity at the heart of that experience, as
builder, as engineer, as adventurer, reimagining and rebuilding the
world, the solar system, the galaxy and possibly the entire
universe in some of the best science fiction stories you will
experience. Bridging Infinity continues the award-winning Infinity
Project series of anthologies with new stories from Alastair
Reynolds, Pat Cadigan, Stephen Baxter, Charlie Jane Anders, Tobias
S.Buckell, Karen Lord, Karin Lowachee, Kristine Kathryn Rusch,
Gregory Benford, Larry Liven, Robert Reed, Pamela Sargent, Allen
Steele, Pat Murphy, Paul Doherty, An Owomoyela, Thoraiya Dyer and
Ken Liu.

The multi-award winning Infinity Project undertakes its seventh and
final voyage in the imagination of the finest science fiction
authors alive... Infinity's End Humanity has made the universe
home. On the outskirts of the solar system, beyond the asteroid
fields, deep in space, under the surface of planets, in the ruins
of fallen civilisations, in the flush of new creation: life finds a
way. From intelligent velociraptors to digital ghosts; from a
creche on an asteroid to an artist using a star system as a canvas,
this is a future where Earth's children have adapted to every nook
and cranny of existence. This is life on the edge of the possible.
Featuring astonishing tales from Stephen Baxter, Alastair Reynolds,
Naomi Kritzer, Paul McAuley, Seanan McGuire, Linda Nagata, Hannu
Rajaniemi, Justina Robson, Kelly Robson, Kristine Kathryn Rusch,
Lavie Tidhar, Peter Watts, Fran Wilde and Nick Wolven.
A Retrieval Artist dies of a virus, yet his colleague, Miles Flint,
believes the death is not an accident. Police detective Noelle
DeRicci knows that the death of a young woman in the Moon's
prestigious Extreme Marathon is not an accident. It soon becomes
clear that both deaths are connected. Flint and DeRicci find
themselves in their own race, one against time and a certain kind
of madness that could threaten everything they know and love.
Booklist calls Extremes "an exemplary futuristic detective
thriller." RT Book Reviews says, "This futuristic tale breaks new
ground as a space police procedural and should appeal to science
fiction and mystery fans." But Locus Magazine covers it all:
"Extremes is simultaneously thriller, deftly plotted detective
story, and SF complete with a form of Mad Scientist. Like the best
of those genres, it also features well-drawn characters whose
various viewpoints, areas of expertise, moral choices, and personal
dilemmas all add to the rich mix."
A woman dies in the domed city of Armstrong on the Moon. Detective
Noelle DeRicci discovers that the victim is a Disappeared-an outlaw
in hiding wanted for crimes against an alien civilization. Only
DeRicci's old partner, Retrieval Artist Miles Flint brought the
Disappeared home, something he would have only done if he believed
the alien government would exonerate her for her crimes. But Flint
and DeRicci are no longer partners; in fact, they're on opposite
sides of the law. Flint can't tell DeRicci about his client's role
in a war between humans and a mysterious alien race. The
Disappeared's death is only the first volley in an escalation of
that war, a war that threatens to engulf the entire solar system.
"Miles Flint is back in this third volume of Kristine Kathryn
Rusch's Retrieval Artist series, and the stakes have never been
higher, the bad guys never so bad, and the risk of personal
catastrophe never more imminent. In short, Rusch has outdone
herself." -Wigglefish.com Rusch mounts hard-boiled noir on an
expansive sf background with great panache. -Booklist Part science
fiction, part mystery, and pure enjoyment are the words to describe
Kristine Kathryn Rusch's latest Retrieval Artist novel....This is a
strong murder mystery in an outer space storyline. -The Best
Reviews Mixing interstellar politics and police procedural, Rusch
turns out a satisfying SF mystery. Flint's internal conflicts are
deftly portrayed, and the gritty realism of the murder
investigation meshes well with the alien setting. This third] entry
in the Retrieval Artist series should please SF and mystery fans
alike, and can be read independently. -RT Book Reviews While the
reader who has read the first two books will be more familiar with
the background information about Miles Flint and his former partner
police detective Noelle DeRicci, lack of knowledge of the first two
books will in no way hamper or diminish the reader's ability to
enjoy Consequences. In fact, new readers (like me) will probably
enjoy it enough to want to track down the other two, and Rusch
provides enough background exposition so that the new reader is
never lost. -SFRevu
