It has been six years since the end of the Covenant War ...and yet
on the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation
Zone, a decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and
the alien Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled
coexistence in this place, with Unified Earth Government envoy
Melody Azikiwe attempting to broker a lasting peace between their
two species. But as civil war now engulfs the Sangheili, Melody
must act on an additional covert assignment courtesy of the Office
of Naval Intelligence: free the Spartan-IIs known as Gray Team,
held in stasis since the end of the war by a cunning Elite
fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can anticipate the
ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even greater,
unstoppable threat-one hidden for eons below the surface of the
planet...

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

Houston, we have a problem... Life is fragile. The difference
between success and failure can come down to nothing - the thread
of a screw, the flick of a switch - and when it goes wrong, you fix
it... or someone dies. Mission Critical takes us from our world,
across the Solar System, and out into deep space to tell the
stories of people who had to do the impossible. And do it fast.
Featuring stories by Peter F. Hamilton, Yoon Ha Lee, Aliette de
Bodard, Greg Egan, Linda Nagata, Gregory Feeley, John Barnes,
Tobias S. Buckell, Jason Fischer & Sean Williams, Carolyn Ives
Gilman, John Meaney, Dominica Phetteplace, Allen M. Steele,
Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Peter Watts.
Famine, Death, War, and Pestilence the Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse, the harbingers of Armageddon these are our guides
through the Wastelands.
From the Book of Revelation to "The Road Warrior," from "A
Canticle for Leibowitz" to "The Road," storytellers have long
imagined the end of the world, weaving eschatological tales of
catastrophe, chaos, and calamity. In doing so, these visionary
authors have addressed one of the most challenging and enduring
themes of imaginative fiction: the nature of life in the aftermath
of total societal collapse.
Gathering together the best postapocalyptic literature of the
last two decades from many of today s most renowned authors of
speculative fiction including George R. R. Martin, Gene Wolfe,
Orson Scott Card, Carol Emshwiller, Jonathan Lethem, Octavia E.
Butler, and Stephen King" Wastelands" explores the scientific,
psychological, and philosophical questions of what it means to
remain human in the wake of Armageddon. Whether the end of the
world comes through nuclear war, ecological disaster, or
cosmological cataclysm, these are tales of survivors, in some cases
struggling to rebuild the society that was, in others, merely
surviving, scrounging for food in depopulated ruins and defending
themselves against monsters, mutants, and marauders.
"Wastelands" delves into this bleak landscape, uncovering the
raw human emotion and heart-pounding thrills at the genre s
core."
