SCI-FI Review: The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction Vol 3: Etd. George Man


BOOK BLURB:

Solaris has become known for its high quality anthologies. This SF collection is no exception with a with all original short stories from some of the world’s finest genre authors including Daniel Abraham, Ken MacLeod, Stephen Baxter, Ian Watson, John Meaney, Alastair Reynolds and more.


REVIEW:

A book that we at Falcata Times have championed for many a year as Solaris put their money where their mouth is, in this multi-talented authorial extravaganza of a compendium. Where else can you try new authors for a neglible price to see if its to your taste along with getting tales by favoured established authors of the genre. Hours of fun in this book that can easily be dipped into for short fiction on the bus or train and in a hand pocket sized paperback that really demonstrates the sheer quality and enthusiasm that Solaris bring to the genre. If only more publishers looked at this method to allow readers to try new people for a small price. Good fun for all and your sure to find one or two names to watch out for in the long run. What more does a reader need?
