Universe 1

A CONTINUING TRADITION OF LITERARY EXCELLENCE

Until Terry Carr's untimely death in 1987, his Universe series was acknowledged by critics and readers alike as the foremost anthology of original science fiction. Its seventeen star-filled volumes were a showcase for the finest work of the field's most distinguished authors.

Now the Universe series continues under the editorship of two of Terry Carr's closest friend's: multiple award winning author and anthologist Robert Silverberg and his wife, author Karen Haber. This new Universe collection, three times as large as previous volumes, features brilliant new stories by some of the most exciting talents in science fiction.
