FROM THE CRITICS

Library Journal

In Eric Brown's "A Heritage of Stars," two people discover the meaning of immortality thanks to the mixed blessing of an alien intervention, while Ian McDonald's "Written in the Stars" quixotically depicts a world ruled by the constellations. These tales, together with 13 other stories, focus on the displays of stars that make up the universe outside our solar system. Crowther's latest theme anthology (e.g., Moon Shots) features contributions from Brian W. Aldiss, Stephen Baxter, Gwyneth Jones, and other prominent British sf authors and is a good addition to most sf collections. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
