From the far reaches of space an immense ball of orange flame hurtles toward a doomed planet.  Terror sweeps the earth.  City after city disappears in flaming craters or under tidal waves.  World leaders are assassinated.  There are mass suicides and mass orgies.  There is nowhere to hide.  There is nothing to do but wait.  While doom cults dance naked in the streets, and the President of the United States lies with his mistress in the White House, drunk on pills and pleasure, astronauts Lisa Bander and Diego Calderon are in a riveting race against disaster.  Leading two teams of international astronauts, they launch a desperate, off-planet mission against Shiva, knowing that failure to divert the massive asteroid will plunge an entire civilization -- and their own love-locked destinies -- into eternal, cataclysmic oblivion. The countdown has started.  Shiva is Coming.

Greg Bear reexplores his artificial universe, "The Way", from Eon, Eternity and Legacy.
Orson Scott Card recounts the momentous first meeting of his time-and-planet-hopping protagonist Ender Wiggin with Ender's computer based, soon to be companion, Jane.Gregory Benford rockets us back to the Galactic Center, Anne McCaffrey's Ship Who Sang sings again, and Joe Haldeman's Forever War rages on eternally. Here, also, are new stories by David Brin, Nancy Kress, Frederik Pohl, and Robert Silverberg himself--each venturing further into univestigated corners of familiar galaxies to delve into the perilous mystery of being human.
Perhaps the greatest concentration of science fiction talent ever in one volume, Far Horizons is an unprecedented masterpiece -- one that reopens vast empires of imagination and adventure to new explorations and appreciations. It is a major SF event, sure to bring unparalleled joy to the hearts of serious fans everywhere.
