Book Description: Far Horizons is the science fiction equivalent of Robert
Silverberg's bestselling fantasy anthology Legends. For both books,
Silverberg invited some of the most renowned authors in the field to write a
new story based on their most popular series or settings. For instance, the
first story in Far Horizons is Ursula K. Le Guin's "Old Music and the Slave
Women," which takes place in the same Hainish universe as her famous novels
The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed. Dan Simmons wrote a piece
set in the realm of Hyperion, Anne McCaffrey turned in a Helva story from
the world of The Ship Who Sang, and so on.
Like Legends, the list of writers in Far Horizons reads like a Who's Who of
the genre: Le Guin, Joe Haldeman, Orson Scott Card, David Brin, Simmons,
Nancy Kress, Frederik Pohl, Gregory Benford, McCaffrey and Greg Bear, as
well as Silverberg himself. And like Legends, the authors take a page or two
to introduce their stories so that newcomers won't be totally lost. The
average story in Far Horizons is, as you might expect, a significant cut
above the average SF story, although this anthology is not quite as
successful as its predecessor. Authors like Le Guin and Simmons have come up
with some first-rate stuff, but Card and McCaffrey have produced stories
that are mediocre at best.
